ObjectiveTo explore the effect of individualized health education prescription on glycemic control in out-patients with diabetes. MethodBetween January and May 2014, seventy-three out-patients with diabetes were given individualized health education prescription for 6 months. The we observed the change of HbA1c level, HbA1c standard rate and medication compliance of the patients. ResultsBefore the use of individualized health education prescription, HbA1c was (8.10±1.86)%, and HbA1c was (6.55±1.26)% after the intervention (P<0.001). HbA1c standard rate (72.6%) and medication compliance (the number of patients with high, medium, and poor compliance was 36, 27, and 10, respectively) after the intervention were both significantly better than those before (16.4%; 12, 42, and 19) the intervention (P<0.001). ConclusionsEducation prescription is effective in the management of blood glucose for patients with diabetes.
