Impact of a multidisciplinary intensive education program on type 2 diabetes mellitus patients' glycemic control and cardiovascular risk factors.
Saudi Medical Journal 2018 July
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the impact of a multidisciplinary intensive education program (MIEP) on type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients' outcomes.
METHODS: A retrospective study was used to evaluate the impact of MIEP on T2DM patients' outcomes for between May 2016 and May 2017. Data were collected from the diabetes education clinic in King Saud University Medical City (KSUMC), Riyadh, Saudi Arabia where patients were referred from diabetes outpatient clinics to the diabetes education clinic to receive MIEP. In terms of measuring the clinical outcomes of the T2DM patients, glycemic control, blood pressure, weight, and lipid profiles were assessed before MIEP at 3, 6, and 12 months. Results: A total of 174 patients with T2DM fulfilled study inclusion criteria. The results indicate improved glycemic control where patients' HbA1c and blood sugar levels were significantly reduced 3, 6, and 12 months after MIEP compared to the baseline (p less than 0.005). Moreover, blood pressure improved after education; a significant improvement was observed in the mean systolic blood pressure (SBP) from baseline to 12 months (p=0.036), and in the mean diastolic blood pressure (DBP) after 12 months (p=0.016). Additionally, the study found significant differences in total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol 6 months after the intervention (p=0.014, p=0.02, respectively). Conclusion: Implementing an MIEP for T2DM patients can improve their clinical outcomes, which consequently may delay the disease's long-term complications.
