The impact of self-management education on prevention and control of type-2 Diabetes mellitus

Abstract: DM is metabolic disorder characterized by the decrease ability or complete inability of the tissues to utilise carbohydrate, accompanied by changes in the metabolism of fat, protein, water & electrolytes. The disorder is due to deficiency or diminished effectiveness of the hormone insulin. DM affects some 120 million people world-wide & is in increases. Aims & objectives: To assess the impact of diabetes education among young adults & adult’s diabetics on the control of blood sugar. To assess the diet & nutrient intake of adults by 24 hour diet recall/food frequency questionnaire. Result: During the study it was found that the 36% subjects strongly agreed to that healthy eating makes a big difference in getting disease while 58% subjects somewhat agreed. After the second counselling it was found that the subjects follow the diet chart very carefully and do exercise regularly and also follow to SMBG method regularly and their FBG were control and also PPBS were control. Discussion: Close observation and follow-up during the study period, it was observed that most of the subjects had lack of physical activity. No consumption of fruits and vegetables in an average day, probably it was the cause of obesity. However only the Walnuts maintained flexibility of the arteries. Conclusion: As far as consumption of food is concerned it was found that the adults understudy were taking less nutrient dense but high energy and unbalance carbohydrate foods when compared to the doses recommended by ICMR, therefore most of them were high blood glucose level.
