One hundred and forty five diabetics regularly attending a hospital clinic were submitted to a questionnaire assessing their knowledge of diabetes. The patients had previously been instructed in urine glucose analysis, insulin injections, diet and hypoglycaemic attacks. Despite this, they appeared to be neither better controlled nor more painstaking with their disease than before education. The replies to the questionnaire revealed that the patients had poor understanding of the symptoms and of the long-term complications of diabetes, of the criteria of good control, and of the proportion of carbohydrate in common food. Moreover, they held many fallacious ideas with regard to these concepts. The results suggest that although these diabetics had acquired sufficient knowledge to avoid the acute metabolic disturbances of diabetes and to lead a day-to-day existence with a minimum of harmful effects, they were not properly aware of the long-term consequences of diabetes and of the overall strategy for the good management of their disease. An improved educational strategy appears necessary to enable diabetics to take better care of themselves.
145名定期到医院门诊就诊的糖尿病患者接受了一份评估他们糖尿病知识的问卷。这些患者之前已接受过尿糖分析、胰岛素注射、饮食和低血糖发作方面的指导。尽管如此，他们对疾病的控制似乎并未比接受教育前更好，也没有比之前更用心。问卷的回复显示，患者对糖尿病的症状、长期并发症、良好控制的标准以及常见食物中碳水化合物的比例了解不足。此外，他们对这些概念持有许多错误观念。结果表明，尽管这些糖尿病患者已获得足够的知识以避免糖尿病的急性代谢紊乱，并以最小的有害影响维持日常生活，但他们并未充分意识到糖尿病的长期后果以及疾病良好管理的总体策略。似乎有必要改进教育策略，以使糖尿病患者能够更好地照顾自己。
