Diabetes is a complex, chronic condition that requires both high quality clinical care and effective self management. Diabetes education is the corner stone of diabetes management because diabetes requires day to day knowledge of nutrition, exercise, monitoring and medication. The study evaluated the effectiveness of delivering diabetes education in individual setting using a consistent, evidence based curriculum. A total of 60 subjects (n-60) were recruited for individual educational setting (n-25) and usual care (n-35). Bangladeshi Bengali speaking adult, age-40 years and above who have been diagnosed with type-2 diabetes, have had a change in treatment or condition or have never received comprehensive diabetes self management education. In this research main outcomes glycosylated haemoglobin were measured at base line, 3 months and 6 months. Other outcomes like fasting blood sugar, post prandial blood sugar, serum creatinine, urinary microalbumin, lipid profile, weight, height, bodymass index and waist circumference were also measured. Individual education significantly improves glycosylated haemoglobin and other outcomes than usual care. Glycosylated haemoglobin decreased from 8.3 ±1.6% at base line to 6.6±0.9% (P<0.001) at 6 months in case of individual educational setting. In case of usual care glycosylated haemoglobin increase from 8.5±1.2 at base line to 9.0±1.6. Glycosylated haemoglobin markedly improved in case of individual educational setting. Any reduction of glycosylated haemoglobin is beneficial. Diabetic education not only improves clinical outcomes but also improve quality of life.
