Detailed description

Diabetes education is not routinely carried out in Turkmenistan. The aim of the study is to investigate whether patients with type 2 diabetes benefit from an International Diabetes Federation (IDF) based education program. Patients will be randomized into a education group and a control group. The education group will receive 4 - 5 hours of education and the control group will only receive general information about diabetes mellitus. After 6 months, it is checked whether the change in the HbA1c value differs between the two groups. Additinal paremeters such as blood pressure, diabetes knowledge and lipids will also be evaluated (secondary parameters).
