Key result
A culturally tailored diabetes self-management education program significantly reduced HbA1c by 1.1% (β = -1.667, p < 0.001) compared to usual care at 2-month follow-up.
Why the study?

A culturally tailored, family-supported diabetes self-management education program significantly improved HbA1c and triglycerides in Ethiopian adults with type 2 diabetes.
Diriba et al. (2023) conducted an RCT in type 2 diabetes (n=76). culturally tailored, family-supported, community-based diabetes self management education and support (DSMES) programme vs. usual care was evaluated on change in HbA1c between baseline and 2-month follow-up (β = -1.667, d = -0.81, p=< 0.001). A culturally tailored diabetes self-management education program significantly reduced HbA1c by 1.1% (β = -1.667, p < 0.001) compared to usual care at 2-month follow-up.
