    Area of Science:

    • Diabetes Management
    • Nutritional Science
    • Health Education

    Background:

    • Insulin-dependent diabetes requires lifelong management, including diet and lifestyle adjustments.
    • Patient education is crucial for improving adherence and health outcomes in diabetes care.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the effectiveness of a structured education program for insulin-dependent diabetics and their families.
    • To assess the impact of the program on metabolic control, dietary habits, and patient knowledge.

    Main Methods:

    • A cohort of 140 insulin-dependent diabetics and their family members participated in the education program between 1978 and 1980.
    • Dietary, biochemical, and knowledge assessments were conducted pre-program and 6 months post-program.

    Main Results:

    • The program maintained or improved the good metabolic control observed initially in the diabetic group.
    • Participants significantly increased complex carbohydrate intake (≥45% energy) and decreased fat intake (≤30% energy).
    • Improvements were noted in diabetes-related knowledge, perceived susceptibility to complications, and perceived barriers to compliance.

    Conclusions:

    • The education program was effective in improving dietary adherence and maintaining metabolic control in insulin-dependent diabetics.
    • The program positively influenced participants' understanding of diabetes and factors influencing treatment adherence.
