Does group based self-management education improve blood pressure and other clinical variables in people with type 2 diabetes?
A multidisciplinary structured group educational approach improves blood pressure and metabolic parameters in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Trento et al. (2020) conducted an RCT in type 2 diabetes. Group based self-management education (Group Care) vs. Traditional one-to-one care was evaluated on Clinical and psychological variables (including body weight, BMI, HbA1c, and blood pressure). Group-based self-management education improved blood pressure, BMI, and HbA1c over 4 years in patients with type 2 diabetes compared to traditional one-to-one care.
