RESUMO
INTRODUCCIÓN: El paciente con diabetes mellitus tipo 2 requiere recibir educación acerca de la enfermedad dirigida a mejorar los conocimientos y habilidades para su control. El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar la eficacia de la terapia nutricia y de la educación a través de un sitio multimedia, sobre el nivel de conocimientos y control metabólico en pacientes con diabetes tipo 2. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: Ensayo clínico abierto de 12 meses de seguimiento en 161 pacientes con diabetes tipo 2. Se asignaron 101 pacientes al grupo de intervención con terapia nutricional (TN) + Nutriluv (sitio multimedia), 80 pacientes al grupo control con TN. Se midió al inicio y al final la hemoglobina glucosilada (HbA1c), glucosa, colesterol, triglicéridos, colesterol LDL y HDL. Se registró el peso, la circunferencia de cintura, el porcentaje de grasa, la presión arterial sistólica y la diastólica. El nivel de conocimientos se midió con el cuestionario de conocimientos en diabetes DKQ24 (por sus siglas en inglés). RESULTADOS: Los conocimientos en diabetes mejoraron en el grupo con TN+Nutriluv comparado con el grupo TN (p < 0,05). La HbA1c, HDL, presión arterial diastólica y circunferencia de cintura mejoraron en el grupo con TN+Nutriluv (p < 0,05). En el grupo con TN mejoró el colesterol HDL, la presión arterial diastólica, la circunferencia de cintura y se incrementó el porcentaje de grasa (p < 0,05). Presentaron mayor riesgo de una HbA1c > 7% quienes tuvieron más años de diagnóstico de la diabetes. CONCLUSIÓN: El uso de un sitio multimedia para proveer educación en diabetes mejora los conocimientos, el HbA1c y otros indicadores de riesgo cardiovascular en pacientes con diabetes tipo 2
INTRODUCTION: The patient with diabetes mellitus type requires to receive education about the disease aimed at improving knowledge and skills for their control. The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of nutritional therapy and education through a multimedia site on the level of knowledge and metabolic control in patients with type 2 diabetes. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Open-label clinical trial of 12 months of follow-up in 161 patients with type 2 diabetes. A total of 101 patients were assigned to the intervention group with nutrition therapy (TN) + Nutriluv (multimedia site in diabetes), 80 patients to the TN control group. The glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL and HDL cholesterol were measured at the beginning and end. Weight, waist circumference, percentage of fat, systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure were recorded. The level of knowledge was measured with the Diabetes Knowledge Questionnaire (DKQ24). RESULTS: The knowledge in diabetes improved in the group with TN+Nutriluv compared with the TN group (P<0.05). HbA1c, HDL, diastolic blood pressure and waist circumference, improved in the group with TN+Nutriluv (P<0.05). In the group with TN, cholesterol HDL, diastolic blood pressure, waist circumference and the fat percentage was increased (P<0.05). They had a higher risk of having an HbA1c>7% who had more years of diagnosis of diabetes. CONCLUSIONS: The use of a multimedia site with education in diabetes, improves knowledge, HbA1c, and other indicators of cardiovascular risk in diabetes type 2 patients
