Does adding group education (DESMOND method) to the standard primary care education practices is effective in changing glycemic control and self-care practices in adults with Type II Diabetes Mellitus .
The enrolled study participants will be randomized to receive either the standard personal health care or group health education (DESMOND) session. questionnaire form measuring diabetes self-care will be administered at baseline together with measurement of HbA1C. These measurements will be repeated after 3 and 6 months of the intervention for both study groups.
详细描述
- Objectives: This pilot, single primary healthcare center study is designed to assess the effect of delivering the group health education DESMOND program as an add-on to the standard health education in type 2 diabetic patients.

The enrolled study participants will be randomized to receive either the standard personal health care (routine diabetes health education services) or a standard group health education (DESMOND) session. A standard questionnaire form measuring diabetes self-care will be administered at baseline together with measurement of HbA1C.

- Setting :The Family Medicine clinics in Airport Health Center in Primary care, Qatar.
- Participants: Newly diagnosed type II Diabetes Mellitus aged more than 18 years.
