Summary

The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effects of an insulin self-titration education program on glycemic control, self-efficacy, and self-care behaviors in patients with type 2 diabetes. The quasi-experimental design was adapted. A convenient sample of 120 patients with insulin-treated type 2 diabetes was recruited from a general hospital in Taiwan. Among them, 60 were in the insulin self-titration group, and 60 were in the comparison group. Data on glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C), self-efficacy, and self-care behavior were collected at baseline, three-month, and six-month follow-up. The study instruments included the Insulin Diabetes Management Self-Efficacy Questionnaire and Diabetes Self-Care questionnaire.
