“…Not surprisingly, primary pharmacist activities such as counseling and educating patients on drug use and their side effects, drug adherence, over‐the‐counter medication selection, blood glucose and HbA 1c monitoring were all reported by our sample to be satisfactory. This corroborates previous studies . In contrast, our pharmacists were unlikely to provide recommendations and counseling on urine ketone testing or sick day management, and this suggests that pharmacists may require further education to improve their knowledge in these areas.…”

“…The management of T2D can be heavily dependent on patients’ active participation in their own self-care behaviors including prescribed diets [6–9]. In this respect, adherence to a healthy diet has been recognized as the first step [10, 11] and the most complicated dimension of diabetes management [12] which can consequently lead to stable improvement in the levels of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) [13] and control of blood sugar in patients [14, 15].…”

BackgroundManaging type 2 diabetes (T2D) is assumed to be heavily dependent on patients’ active participation in their own self-care behaviors including prescribed diets.ObjectivesThe purpose of the present study was to investigate the effectiveness of educational intervention based on psychological factors on nutritional behaviors as well as levels of fasting blood sugar (FBS) and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in patients with T2D referring to diabetes clinics and healthcare centers in the city of Izeh, Iran.MethodsA total number of 145 patients were recruited in this clinical trial and then randomly assigned to two groups of intervention (n = 73 individuals) and control (n = 72 individuals). After that, a researcher-made multi-part questionnaire including a demographic characteristics information form, a nutritional perceptions and beliefs questionnaire; a scale measuring fears, concerns, and discomforts associated with diabetic diet, as well as the valid and reliable Perceived Dietary Adherence Questionnaire were used to collect the required data before and 3 months after the completion of the educational intervention. To this end, the patients in the intervention group attended an educational program for eight sessions but the individuals in the control group only received routine services. Data analysis was also conducted using the SPSS Statistics (Version 18) and via descriptive and inferential statistics.ResultsThe findings revealed that the mean scores of the sub-groups of nutritional perceptions and beliefs (but not exaggerated ones) in the patients assigned to the intervention group were significantly higher than those in the control group after 3 months (p = 0.001). As well, the mean scores of the sub-groups of fears, concerns, and discomforts in patients as well as exaggerated beliefs witnessed a significant decrease in the intervention group compared to those in the control group (p = 0.001) 3 months after the educational intervention. Furthermore, the mean scores of adherence to a healthy diet in the intervention group had significantly increased compared to those in the control group. There was correspondingly a significant descending trend in the average levels of fasting blood sugar (FBS) and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in the intervention group compared to those obtained in the control group (p = 0.001).ConclusionThe results of this study shed light on the importance of the effectiveness of psychological factors on achieving health outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Moreover, a new combination of diet-related psychological factors in patients with diabetes was introduced in the present study.Trial registration IRCT. IRCT20180308039008N1.

Objective: Education is the cornerstone of diabetes management, and numerous educational studies used Diabetes Knowledge Level Tests to determine the effectiveness of education. Our study was planned to adopt the revised Diabetes Knowledge Test (DKT2) of the Michigan Diabetes Research and Training Center for the Turkish population. Material and Methods: A total of 296 diabetic subjects using insulin were included in the study. After the determination of the validity of the language and content of the test, it was applied to the patients. The reliability of the study was assessed using Cronbach's alpha coefficient. The results of the DKT2 demographic values, and laboratory tests of the patients were noted. Results: Cronbach's alpha values were 0.60, 0.59, and 0.70 for the first part, second part, and complete test, respectively. The test-retest reliability values were 0.76 and 0.87 (p<0.001), respectively. The correct response rate to the first part was 32.68±2.47% in patients with Type 1 diabetes and 32.16±2.66% in patients with Type 2 diabetes using insulin. The correct response rate to the second part was 19.68±2.05% and 19.55±2.96%, respectively. Discussion: The Turkish adapted version of DKT2 is a reliable tool to measure patients' level of diabetes knowledge. However, in order to increase the level of knowledge of the patients, education of diabetes should be improved.
