Summary

Diabetes is one of the biggest public health problems of the 21st century. Type 2 diabetes mellitus accounts for more than 90% of all diabetes cases and is the most common type of diabetes. Type 2 diabetes, in which genetic and environmental factors play a role,It is a metabolic disorder in which insulin resistance, decrease in insulin secretion and incretin hormone deficiency are effective in its physiopathology, characterized by polydipsia, polyphagia and polyuria, where the organism cannot adequately benefit from carbohydrates, fats and proteins due to insulin deficiency or defects in the effect of insulin, which requires continuous medical care.

Diabetes is a major cause of blindness, end-stage renal disease, coronary artery disease, stroke and inferior extremity amputations. These complications due to diabetes impair the patient's quality of life and impose social, financial and emotional burdens on both the patient and their family.

Diabetes education should be provided by healthcare professionals in order to ensure that diabetes patients knowledge and skills to prevent complications and provide better self management and self-care.

However, The fact that individuals do not have time to spare for face-to-face health education, the possibility of accessing information in the web environment repeatedly and the lower cost of education in the web environment compared to classical education increases the importance of web-based health education. The widespread use of mobile technologies in recent years has led to the development of new mobile applications related to diabetes.

The disquisition proposal the investigators prepared was created to investigate the effect of mobile application supported diabetes and nutrition education on type 2 diabetes self-management and blood sugar in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes patients.

In this context, with the development of a mobile application prepared in visual, text and video format to provide diabetes education, the monitoring of blood parameters before and after diabetes education, and the implementation of the Type 2 Diabetes Self-Management Scale, (which consists of 19 items developed in 2020), and type 2 diabetes self-management and the effect on blood sugar will be examined. This study will provide answers to questions about the effectiveness of diabetes education given to Type 2 Diabetes patients via mobile applications on diabetes self-management and blood parameters.
