Diabetes Mellitus
• Diabetes is a chronic disease
A successful diabetes treatment program requires patients’active involvement in the management of diet, exercise and medication
• Making changes in their lifestyle is one of the greatest challenges patients face in controlling their diabetes
Diabetes Mellitus
• Glycemic control is an important predictor of many of the chronic complications of diabetes
ADA Position Statement 2001
Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT)
• Significant risk reduction with tight glucose control
• Reductions in microvascular complications with HbA1c = 7.2% :
- 76% retinopathy
- 60% for neuropathy
- 56% for nephropathy
N Eng J Med 1993;329:683-689
United Kingdom Prospective Diabetes Study (UKPDS)
• For every 1% reduction in the HbA1c, there is a 35% reduction in microvascular complications:
- Control group 7.9%
- Intervention group 7%
Lancet 1998;352:837-853.
Results of Diabetes Self-Management Education (DSME)
on Glycemic Control• Systematic review reports of 31 published,
randomized controlled trials to ascertain the efficacy of diabetes self-management education (DSME) in adults with type 2 diabetes
• Examine the effect of baseline HbAlc, follow-up interval and intervention characteristics on HbAlc
• HbA1c improved with DSME, with an average change of 0.76%
Norris et al., 2002
Results of Diabetes Self-Management Education (DSME) on
Glycemic Control• HbA1c was lowered in patients who received education
from dieticians or diabetes nurses than those who had not (7.9% vs 8.7% )
Chan et al., 2000
• Patients discharged early and received a follow up programme by diabetes nurse specialist had a decrease in HbA1c at 24 weeks when compared with those who remained in hospital until the glycemic control is stable (7.6% vs 8.1%)
Wong et al., 2004
