Abstract
Objective To discuss the effect of improving self-management among type 2 diabetes by mobile health platform and peer support education. Methods Two hundred diabetic patients enrolled from community were assigned to mobile health platform with peer support education group(group A, 50 patients), peer support education group(group B, 50 patients), and control group(group C, 100 patients). Diabetes related knowledge, self-efficacy score, educational participation, and HbA1C level were compared among these three groups before and after nine months of intervention. Results Diabetes related knowledge, self-efficacy score, and educational participation were observably improved in group A(P<0.01). HbA1C in group A was stable, but it had no statistical significance. Conclusion The mobile health platform with peer support education helps to improve the effects of control and education in type 2 diabetic patients in community.
