Scientific titleA randomised controlled study of the effectiveness of diabetes mellitus (DM) self-management service in DM patients
Study objectivesSelf management programme with focus on improvement of self efficacy and addressing the psycho-social needs of patients with diabetes mellitus would lead to improved health outcomes including clinical parameters.
Ethics approval(s)The Joint Chinese University of Hong Kong and New Territory East Cluster Clinical Research Ethics Committee approved on the 31st May 2007 (ref: CREC-2007-136-T)
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedDiabetes mellitus
InterventionBoth intervention and control groups received their usual medical follow-ups in their GOPCs. The intervention group underwent the six sessions of weekly course of DM self-management service with emphasis on self efficacy and participatory approach addressing the critical gap between the psycho-social and self management support for diabetes patients.

If a subject fulfilled entrance criteria after being assessed by the investigator, s/he was invited to attend a DM care seminar. The objective and the procedures of the study of DM self-management service, and their rights were explained at the end of the seminar. Those interested received further explanation and a written consent was obtained. The subjects were randomised to study group or control group by simple randomisation. The intervention group attended the six sessions of DM Self-management Service in six weeks (one session per week), each session lasted for 2.5 hours.

The total duration of follow up for both groups was 28 weeks. The intervention group received six sessions of training over six weeks period.
