Objective To observe the effect of diabetes base education combined with peer education on blood glucose control,metabolic index and self management level in type 2 diabetes patients.Methods 150 patients with type 2 diabetes were randomly divided into 3 groups.Group A received diabetes base education,Group B received peer education group,and group C received peer education joint base education group.Before treatment and 6 months after treatment,fasting blood glucose (FPG),postprandial blood glucose (2 h PG),glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1 c),triglyceride (TG),cholesterol (TC),low density lipoprotein (LDL-C),high density lipoprotein (HDL-C),systolic blood pressure,diastolic blood pressure change,body mass index (BMI) were observed,so as to evalute the diabetes self-management behavior at the same time before and after treatment.Results After 6 months of intervention,FPG,2 h PG,HbAlc,TG,TC,LDL-C,HDL-C,blood pressure,body weight and other metabolic indicators in the three groups were significantly improved (P ＜ 0.05).There was no significant difference between the group A and group B on the improvement of blood glucose control and metabolic indexes (P ＞ 0.05).In group C,the blood glucose control index (FPG,2 h PG,HbAlc) and the improvement of blood lipid were obviously superior to those in the group A and B (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The combination of base education and peer education can improve blood glucose control and blood lipid level in patients with type 2 diabetes,and can also promote self-management behavior in patients with type 2 diabetes.
