Summary

This purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of the self-regulation mode of continuous blood glucose monitoring on blood glucose indicators, self-efficacy, health-promoting behaviors, and medication compliance in patients with Type 2 diabetes. A prospective, randomized, double-blind experimental study is designed with 60 diabetic patients randomly assigned to the experimental group receiving continuous blood glucose monitoring and self-regulation mode of health education and the control group receiving self-monitoring of blood glucose and routine health education. Data will be collected three times, including blood glucose indicators and scales of self-efficacy, health promotion behaviors, and medication compliance.

Detailed description

This purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of the self-regulation mode of continuous blood glucose monitoring on blood glucose indicators, self-efficacy, health-promoting behaviors, and medication compliance in patients with Type 2 diabetes. This study is a prospective, randomized, double-blind experimental study. A total of 60 diabetic patients who are willing to participate in the outpatient clinic of the hospital will be recruited. They are randomly assigned to the experimental group and the control group with 30 patients each. The experimental group will adopt continuous blood glucose monitoring for 7 days and self-regulation mode of health education, while the control group is self-monitoring of blood glucose and routine health education. Data will be collected three times: pre-test, eighth day after intervention, and three-month after intervention. The data included blood glucose indicators and scales of self-efficacy, health promotion behaviors, and medication compliance.

Conditions

• Type 2 Diabetes

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Self-regulation health education	1. Insert the continuous blood glucose monitor 2. Give self-regulation model of health education to assist patients in making a judgmental decision on how to modify health promotion behaviors to reach a good glucose control 3. Use Telecommunications on the modifications of health promotion behaviors for 7 days
BEHAVIORAL	Usual diabetes health education	1. Practice self-monitoring of blood glucose 2. Give usual diabetes health education
