Purpose: Education is one of the pivotal aspects of diabetes care. The impact of education has been found to be efficacious in the short term, but tends to lose efficacy in the long term. The hypothesis tested here was that one-to-one education would confer knowledge which would be reflected in metabolic improvement in this group of participants with diabetes. Patients and Methods: 39 patients of type 2 diabetes, with poor diabetes control attended a one to one diabetic and dietetic education session with a Diabetic specialist nurse and a Diabetes specialist dieticican. Glycaemic control was assessed by HbA1c measurements before, at 6 months and at 12 months. Results: HbA1c levels fell significantly in the whole group at 6 months to 8.0+0.5% (p<0.05)and to 8.3+0.7% at final visit (p<0.05) from a baseline of 9.2+0.5%. Compared to female patients, male patients had a similar drop in HbA1c at 6 months of 1.1% which persisted until the final visit - 1.3% vs. 0.3% (p<0.05). Conclusion: A single episode of one to one diabetic and dietetic education to subjects with poor diabetic control is effective in improving short and long term diabetic control upto 1 year with male patients having a better response. |
