Theory-based diabetes self-management education with pre-selection of participants: a randomized controlled trial with 2.5 years' follow-up (ELDES Study).

ABSTRACT:

Aims

To evaluate the (cost-)effectiveness of Beyond Good Intentions (BGI), a 12-week group-based, nurse-led self-management programme, in terms of cardiovascular risk factors, self-management and quality of life, after 2.5 years of follow-up in pre-selected individuals with known Type 2 diabetes of up to 5 years' duration.

Methods

A parallel randomized controlled trial comparing BGI with usual care, based on a self-management screening questionnaire, was conducted in 43 general practices after pre-selection of participants. After 2.5 years of follow-up, the between-group changes in the abovementioned variables were assessed using analysis of covariance.

Results

A total of 108 participants (BGI group, n =56; control group, n =52) were included. Changes over time in BMI
