Abstract

Objective To observe the influence of health education on blood sugar control in the aged patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods This study consisted of 78 patients with type 2 diabetes,who were randomly divided into experiment group(38 cases),and control group(40 cases).Those in the experiment group received health education on diabetes in addition to therapeutic regimen of diabetes for both groups,no health education was provided in the control group.Fasting blood sugar,blood sugar at 2 h after meals,and glycosylated hemoglobin were measured in both groups. Results The levels of above items in the experiment group stably dropped out,compared with the controls,the differences were significant(t=4.370-39.891,P0.05).Conclusion Health education on diabetes in senior patients can help them understand the basic knowledge about diabetes,raise their ability of self-management and markedly reduce the level of blood sugar.
