Diabetic Education is a basic part of treating Diabetes Mellitus and is intended to improve a patient's quality of life. An analysis was made of the effectiveness of a diabetic education program at the Algeciras Regional Hospital.
Results achieved by the Diabetic Education Unit were measured according to frequency of hospital visits. A parallel study was therefore carried out on the Unit's first 86 patients and an analysis made of the percentage of patients admitted as well as the period of hospitalization, four years before the Diabetic Program was carried out and four years later.
The 20.7% rate of patients admitted four years before the program was reduced to 6.1% in the four following years (IC 95% of the difference between 0.055 and 0.170). A significant decrease (p < 0.001) was also observed in the period of hospitalization, before and after the program, which was quantified in 3.54 days/patient in four years (IC 95%: 1.02 to 5.56 days).
The educational program reduced complications of the disease and improved quality of life.
糖尿病教育是治疗糖尿病的一个基本组成部分，旨在提高患者的生活质量。对阿尔赫西拉斯地区医院的一项糖尿病教育计划的效果进行了分析。
根据医院就诊频率来衡量糖尿病教育部门所取得的成果。因此，对该部门的前86名患者进行了一项平行研究，并对糖尿病计划实施前四年和四年后的患者入院百分比以及住院时间进行了分析。
该计划实施前四年患者的入院率为20.7%，在随后的四年中降至6.1%（差异的95%置信区间为0.055至0.170）。在计划实施前后，住院时间也有显著减少（p<0.001），四年中平均每位患者减少3.54天（95%置信区间：1.02至5.56天）。
该教育计划减少了疾病并发症，提高了生活质量。
