Abstract

Background: Providing accurate knowledge about diabetes helps foster self-motivated treatment adherence, thereby contributing to effective blood glucose control and reducing complications in diabetes patients. Objectives: Evaluation of knowledge on diabetic complication prevention and treatment adherence after counseling intervention in type 2 diabetes patients. Materials and methods: Counseling intervention conducted on 30 type 2 diabetes patients from April 2023 to October 2023. Results: Before the intervention, the percentage of patients with good knowledge about diabetic complications, self-monitoring of blood glucose at home, hypoglycemia, nutrition, and exercise were 0%, 16.7%, 7.1%, 6.7%, 40%, and 20%, respectively. After the intervention, these percentages increased to 53.3%, 70%, 28.6%, 80%, 90%, and 56.7% (p<0.05). Knowledge about diabetes medication adherence increased from 80% to 90% after the intervention. Conclusions: The proportion of patients with knowledge about diabetic complication prevention significantly increased after 3 months. The majority of patients already had good knowledge about medication adherence.
