  • Quantitative measures included diabetes-specific questionnaires and clinical data (blood glucose, weight, medication).

    • Main Results:

    • Two distinct datasets (qualitative and quantitative) were generated.
    • Analysis focused on compatibilities and contradictions between datasets.
    • The combined approach yielded valid and comprehensive results.

    Conclusions:

    • A mixed-methods approach is essential for robust patient education trials.
    • This strategy enhances the scope and analytical power of research.
