The X-PERT Programme significantly improved health outcomes for Type 2 diabetes patients. This patient-centred, group-based self-management education led to better glycaemic control and lifestyle improvements.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Public Health
  • Health Psychology

Background:

  • Type 2 diabetes management requires effective patient self-care strategies.
  • Existing self-management programs may not fully address patient empowerment and lifestyle factors.
  • A need exists for evidence-based, patient-centred interventions to improve clinical and psychosocial outcomes in Type 2 diabetes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate the X-PERT Programme, a group-based, patient-centred self-management intervention for Type 2 diabetes.
  • To assess the impact of the X-PERT Programme on clinical (e.g., HbA1c, weight), lifestyle (e.g., diet, physical activity), and psychosocial (e.g., self-empowerment, satisfaction) outcomes.
  • To compare the effectiveness of the X-PERT Programme against standard individual appointments.

Main Methods:

Related Experiment Videos

  • A randomized controlled trial involving 314 adults with Type 2 diabetes.
  • Participants were randomized to either the X-PERT Programme (n=157) or individual appointments (control, n=157).
  • The X-PERT Programme consisted of six 2-hour group sessions focusing on self-management education, with outcomes assessed at baseline, 4, and 14 months.

Main Results:

  • The X-PERT group showed a significant reduction in HbA1c (-0.6% vs. +0.1% in control) at 14 months (P < 0.001).
  • The programme reduced the need for diabetes medication (NNT=7) and prevented medication increases (NNT=4).
  • Significant improvements were observed in body weight, BMI, cholesterol, self-empowerment, diabetes knowledge, physical activity, and dietary intake in the X-PERT group.

Conclusions:

  • The X-PERT Programme is an effective intervention for adults with Type 2 diabetes.
  • Participation leads to sustained improvements in glycaemic control, weight management, and cardiovascular risk factors.
  • The programme enhances self-management skills, patient empowerment, and satisfaction with diabetes care.
