Effectiveness of educational intervention on diabetic knowledge and HbA1c levels of Kenyan adults with T2DM

Abstract

This study explored the effect of structured diabetes educational intervention on diabetes knowledge, self-efficacy, and HbA1c levels for people with T2DM living in Kenya. The improvement observed in the variables measured attests to the importance of diabetic education for this population. Keys to success are cultural adaptation and patient-centered care.
