ABSTRACT

Objective: To evaluate the impact of an educational intervention through a website on knowledge and glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods: A 12-month clinical trial was conducted in patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, who were randomly assigned to either a medical and nutritional therapy group (n= 50) or an experimental group receiving medical and nutritional therapy plus access to a diabetes educational website (n= 58). Baseline and follow-up measurements over 12 months included weight, body mass index, waist circumference, glucose, cholesterol, and triglycerides. Diabetes knowledge was assessed using the Diabetes Knowledge Questionnaire (DKQ-24). Results: At the end of the intervention, a significantly higher proportion of participants in the experimental group (62%) demonstrated adequate diabetes knowledge compared with the control group (38%, p= 0.004). Significant improvements were also observed in glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, and body mass index within the experimental group (p‹0.05). Conclusion: An educational website improves knowledge, glycemic control, and lipid profiles in patients with type 2 diabetes attending a primary care clinic.
