Effectiveness of a Diabetes Education Program Based on Tailored Interventions (Edep-Ti Study)

The reference population will be patients with a diagnosis of diabetes mellitus in treatment with oral antidiabetics, excluding the insulinized patients. They will then be randomly assigned by cluster, to the intervention group (individual education) or control (usual care) in the context of each health center participating in the project. After randomization centers, all professionals who decide to cooperate receive a training process on methodology for measuring results (clinical and questionnaire variables), while assigned to the experimental intervention, will also receive training on how to carry out the program of diabetologic education proposed. The follow-up period for both groups is 18 months obtained as clinical determinations: glycosylated hemoglobin (metabolic control), blood pressure, lipid profile, smoking and BMI; and as results reported by the patient through questionnaires: quality of life related to health, level of physical activity performed or adherence to the Mediterranean diet.
