Evaluation of an audiovisual diabetes education program

Abstract: A randomized controlled trial was conducted to determine whether an education program specifically designed for patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes and limited literacy could improve and sustain glucose and weight control. From a referral clinic, 120 obese (greater than 130 per cent of ideal body weight) diabetic patients who were not taking insulin were recruited. Of these, 55 per cent were female and 49 per cent were black; the mean age was 53 years. Mean glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1%) was 10.2 per… Show more
