ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the effect of continuous health education on the control of glucose and the changes of behavior. Methods One hundred and twenty-six newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients were randomly divided into control group and observation group,each group included 63 patients. The control group just received health education in hospitalization period,and the observation group received continuous health education both in and after hospitalization. The control of glucose and the changes of behavior were evaluated 3 months and 1 year later. Results After 3 months and 1 year treatment,the FPG,2hPG and HbA1c were significantly decreased compared to pre-treatment both in control group and observation group(P<0. 05). The FPG,2hPG and HbA1c were significantly decreased in the ob-servation group compared to the control groups(P<0. 05). The behaviors contained that mastery of diabetic knowledge,control of food in-take,persist in physical exercise, rational administration, self-monitoring of blood glucose and regular reexamination were significantly im-proved both in control group and observation group compared to pre-treatment (P<0. 05),and the behaviors were significantly improved in the observation group compared to the control group (P<0. 05). Conclusion Compared to control group,observation group had more ad-vantages in the control of glucose and the changes of behavior in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients.
