Effect of simulation education and case management on glycemic control in type 2 diabetes.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The aim of the study was to investigate whether simulation education (SE) and case management had any effect on glycemic control in type 2 diabetes (T2DM) patients.

Methods

In this single center pilot trial, 100 T2DM patients who received medication and basic diabetes self-management education (DSME) were randomly divided into a control group (n = 50) and an experimental group (n = 50), who received SE and a case management program. Evaluation of biochemical indices was conducted at baseline and after 6 months. DSME consisted of 2-hour group trainings weekly for 2 consecutive weeks followed by 2 × 30 minute education sessions after 3 and 6 months. The SE program comprised additional 50-minute video sessions 3 times in the first week and twice in the second week. T
