Scientific titleTo test an integrated approach for promoting effective self management in people with established Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM): a cluster randomised controlled trial of the DESMOND Ongoing education programme
Study objectivesAn approach integrating ongoing self-management education with clinical management in those with established Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) within a primary care setting will improve glycaemic control, other biomedical parameters and patient level outcomes
Ethics approval(s)Leicestershire Northampton and Rutland Committee 1, 07/09/2010, ref:10/H0406/54
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedType 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM)
InterventionPatients in the intervention group will receive the following:
1. DESMOND Foundation. An existing DESMOND 6-hour group education course which provides introductory information for managing type-2 diabetes
2. Six group sessions of DESMOND-Ongoing (4 in the 1st year and 2 in the 2nd year) delivered by specially trained DESMOND Educators which concentrate on developing self-management skills in people with established type-2 diabetes and covers specific topics related to type-2 diabetes including diet, exercise, managing hypo- and hyper-glycaemia
3. Two Care Planning sessions (delivered at yearly intervals) delivered at the level of the GP Practice by trained GPs and/or Practice Nurses. Care Planning focuses on 'looking with rather than at' someone with diabetes to plan their care and areas for improvement over the forthcoming year. Patients are helped to identify goals and make action plans to acheive these. The healthcare professionals delivering the Care Planning sessions will first be given in-depth training in Care Planning by DESMOND Eductors within the study group.

The intervention is a rolling intervention. In the ‘real world’ it will comprise a six hour introductory session (DESMOND Foundation), a Care Planning session, and then four rolling sessions of DESMOND ongoing delivered at 6 monthly intervals (meaning that the complete material is delivered in 2 years. However, for the trial we are condensing the intervention during the first years as a proof of concept and then will change to the frequency that it would be delivered in the ‘real world’ during the 2nd year. Therefore intervention patients will receive the six sessions mentioned above during the first year and then a further Care Planning session and 2 sessions of Going Forward with Diabetes during the 2nd year.
