Introduction: As per IDF 2022, 537 million adults (20-79 years) are living with diabetes & the number is increasing in an alarming way. 1in 10 people are suffering from diabetes and over 3 in 4 adults with diabetes live in low and middle-income countries. Adequate control of the disease is required by educating patients and developing their skills to manage their treatment to prevent complications through continue diabetic education program (DEPs). Aim & Objectives: To measure the change in HBA1C, FBG & PPBG (primary end point) value, who are in continue DEPs [ Sugar 360 (long term, 1 year sugar plan), Sugar 90 (long term-6 months sugar plan) vs. conventional method (SA-1- short term sugar plan, only one visit )with normal follow up] along with standard of care treatment. Secondary end points such as total cholesterol and body weight were also taken into consideration. Methods: Data of 100 type 2 diabetes mellitus patients who had attended diabetes OPD & had at least two follow ups having knowledge about diabetes were included in the study. Visual impairment, psychological impairment and newly diagnosed DM patients were excluded from the study. Data on biochemical parameters of metabolic control such as FBG, PPBG, HBA1c, total cholesterol, TG & BMI were collected. Within subjects design non-parametric and for quantitative data repeated measures ANOVA was used. Results: Mean age is 51.32 years in DEPs patients and mean age is 57.29 years in conventional treatment patients. Significant decrease in HBA1c (9.1% vs. 7.2%), FBG (161.2 mg/dl vs. 119.1 mg/dl), PPBG (244.6 mg/dl vs. 172.2 mg/dl), total cholesterol (175.8mg/dl vs. 159.8mg/dl) & triglyceride (217.5 mg/dl vs. 182.1 mg/dl) were noted in the follow up visit in both groups. However patients on DEPs has better adherence to the follow-up visits and better understanding of disease, blood glucose control measures and lifestyle change. Conclusion: Intensive DEPs was found useful & effective as regards to biochemical than compared with normal conventional treatment in terms of adherence knowledge & control of disease.
