Data were analysed by descriptive and independent t-tests. Results The mean score of DFCK (DFCK and DFCB in this study represent the score of knowledge and behaviors which gathered from MDFCK and MDFCB's questionnaires) in the experimental group after completing the FC camp was significantly better than that in the control group ( p < .001). Similarly, the mean score of DFCB in the experimental group after completing the FC camp was significantly better than that in the control group ( p < .001). Conclusions The FC camp was found to enhance DFCK and DFCB among diabetic patients.
