The chronic hyperglycemia in diabetes is associated with long-term damage, dysfunction, and failure of different organs. Lack of patient education and knowledge about these complications can worsen the quality of a patient’s life. Hence, more efforts are needed to improve patient’s education especially in rural areas. Aim. Our objective is to explore the association between demographic variables and the knowledge of self-care practices in type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods. We used observational cross-sectional descriptive study using a validated self-administered questionnaire in both Arabic and English languages as well. A descriptive correlation design analyzed the questionnaire completed by a convenience sample meeting the inclusion criteria. Results. A total of 100 patients met the inclusion criteria for the analysis out of 3251 patients who completed the questionnaire. The study population has low moderate knowledge in diabetes, moderate knowledge in self-care practices, and good knowledge about complications of nephropathy and cardiovascular disease. No significant association between demographic variables. However, better knowledge observed in male (p=0.028) and self-care practices with female (p=0.020). Further, educational status is significantly influencing the knowledge of diabetic patients. Conclusion. The study emphasizing irrespective of demographic variable and the importance of patient education to achieve well glycemic control.

ABSTRACT Objective: to compare the adherence and empowerment of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus for self-care practices and glycemic control in group education strategies and home visits. Method: Clinical trial with ten randomized clusters, performed with 238 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus distributed in group education, home visit, and control group. Socio-demographic data, glycated hemoglobin and those obtained from the self-care and empowerment questionnaires were collected. Statistical analysis was performed separately by educational strategy. Results: the mean age of the patients was 57.8 years old (SD = 9.4 years old), with a predominantly female participation (66.4%). Both strategies presented similar results regarding adherence to self-care practices and patient empowerment. There was also a reduction in glycated hemoglobin levels; however, only in the education group, the difference presented statistical significance (p <0.001). Conclusion: the strategies were effective; however, group education presented better glycemic control results in relation to the home visit. International registry: NCT02132338 and national: RBR-92j38t in the clinical trials registry.

Family Empowerment

Background : Family empowerment plays an important role in the management of diabetes mellitus experienced by family members. Because of the chronic nature of this disease, people with diabetes mellitus need long-term assistance to improve self-care and delay chronic complications from diabetes mellitus through glycemic control. Aim : To conduct a systematic review and assess the effectiveness of family empowerment for metabolic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Method : Systematic reviews are carried out using electronic databases in article searches such as PubMed, ScienceDirect, ProQuest, Google Scholar. Results: After reviewing five articles it was found that family-based intervention or by empowering families in the care of patients with diabetes mellitus played a role in decreasing HbA1c as an indicator in glycemic control. And the most widely used instruments are the scale of self-care and diabetes activity (SDSCA), the diabetes empowerment scale (DES) and the diabetes knowledge questionnaire (DKQ). Conclusion : From the review of the article reviewed it can be concluded that families must be involved in the care of people with diabetes mellitus, diabetes education given only to individuals with type 2 diabetes limits the impact on patients, therefore empowering families will provide a large role in the management of chronic diseases that emphasize context where this disease occurs including the family's physical environment, education, and the personal needs of patients and family members. Helps develop healthy family behavior and shows self-management of diabetic patients, especially in health care programs, especially those who are able to promote various forms of social support, glycemic control and to strengthen ties between family members.Keywords : Family empowerment, metabolic control, type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Yoga has been suggested as a complementary and alternative treatment for type 2 diabetes mellitus. The purpose of this study was to review studies using yoga in preventing or controlling diabetes. Inclusion criteria were as follows: (1) conducted between 1993 and September 2011; (2) published in the English language; (3) used yoga asanas, pranayama, or dhyana as intervention; (4) involved diabetic patients and healthy volunteers, with insulin or glucose levels as outcomes, or individuals at risk for diabetes; (5) used any quantitative design; and (6) had biochemical, physiological, anthropometric, or clinical outcomes. A total of 17 studies met the inclusion criteria. Of these studies, 15 used yoga asanas, 12 used pranayama, and 1 each used shatkriyas (cleansing exercises) and yoga nidra (relaxation). Of the 11 studies that measured changes in fasting blood glucose, 9 showed significant decrease. Limitations include lack of theory-based approach, small sample sizes, and inability to gauge adherence.
