In patients with diabetes type 2, good knowledge about disease often doesn’t follow appropriate behavior in their life. Therefore, we wanted to find out basic level of disease knowledge and glycemic control among type 2 diabetic patients, and after that impact of passive and intensive education on knowledge and glycemic control. Starting with 130 participants, 91 patients with type 2 diabetes, from four family medicine services in Tuzla Canton, completed six months education about their disease. Disease Knowledge Test of Michigan Diabetes Training and Research Center was used to evaluate knowledge about diabetes and glycaemic control was assessed by HbAic. Participants were tested at the beginning of survey, after 3 months of passive education and additional 3 months of intensive one. Basic test showed good knowledge of participants (score 8,3 out of 15), improved knowledge after passive education (score 9,23) and intensive one (11,19) (P<0,0001). Demographic characteristics of patients (age, sex, living area, level of education, duration of disease and type of treatment) had no influence on disease knowledge and glycaemic control during education. Generally, patient education improved significantly glycaemic control by HbA1c reduction 0,45% (P=0,011) without significant differences between passive and intensive one. Education of patients improves both disease knowledge and glycaemic control among type 2 diabetic patients.

Background: Type 2 diabetic patients often require insulin therapy for better glycaemic control. However, many of these patients do not receive insulin or do not receive it in a timely manner. Objective: The study was planned to assess the proportion of type 2 diabetic patients attaining treatment goals as per the ADA 2018 guidelines. In addition, patient’s perception on insulin therapy assessed and compared between insulin naïve and insulin initiated type 2 diabetic patients. Methods: The study was conducted in type 2 diabetic patients. Data on their demographics, medical history, duration of diabetes, history of diabetes related complications, the current antidiabetic medication received, most recent glycaemic parameters were noted. Patient’s perception on insulin initiation was recorded through structured interview. Results: A total of 129 patients were included in the study. Around 76.7% patients achieved HbA1c target (<7%). Duration of the disease is much higher in patients who did not meet the HBA1c target. A good number of patients felt that insulin injection would be physically painful (56.5%). Majority of the patients also felt that insulin will make their life less flexible (64.8%). Many patients are having the opinion that insulin is required for life long (73.2%). More number of patients on insulin agreed with the statement ‘Leads to good short-term outcomes as well as long-term benefits’ compared to insulin naïve patients. Conclusion: The results highlight that the proportion of patients achieving recommended glycaemic target is not satisfactory. Many patients who are inadequately controlled with oral antidiabetic drugs were reluctant to initiate insulin.
