The purpose of this study was to determine whether Asian Pacific Islanders with type 2 diabetes who have better knowledge and self-management would have better baseline hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and total cholesterol values. Signicant relationships were found among (a) general diet on HbA1c (p < .030), (b) medications on HbA1c (< .009), and (c) diabetes knowledge on HbA1c (p < .001). Participants with active self-management regimens were expected to demonstrate better laboratory values than those who did not implement self-management. However, persons with knowledge may for other reasons still lack self-management.
Future studies comparing baseline results to post-additional education sessions may yield better comparisons.
本研究的目的是确定具有更好知识水平和自我管理能力的亚太岛民2型糖尿病患者是否具有更好的基线糖化血红蛋白(HbA1c)和总胆固醇值。研究发现:(a)总体饮食与HbA1c之间存在显著关系(p < .030),(b)药物治疗与HbA1c之间存在显著关系(p < .009),以及(c)糖尿病知识与HbA1c之间存在显著关系(p < .001)。预计采用积极自我管理方案的参与者比未实施自我管理的参与者具有更好的实验室检查值。然而,有知识的人可能由于其他原因仍然缺乏自我管理。
未来将基线结果与额外教育课程后的结果进行比较的研究可能会得出更好的比较结果。
