Summary

The purpose of this study is to find out if learning about healthy eating can help people with diabetes control their blood sugar better.

This study is for men and women between 18 and 70 years old who use insulin at least twice a day but still have high blood sugar.

We want to answer the following questions:

Can nutrition education help lower HbA1c (a blood test that shows average blood sugar over the past 3 months)? Can it improve knowledge about nutrition, quality of life, and make blood sugar more stable? Will it help reduce fasting blood sugar, lipid levels, body weight, and the number of times low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) happens?

Participants will be divided into two groups:

One group will receive a nutrition booklet. The other group will receive the same booklet and join four monthly lessons with a researcher.

The four lessons will talk about:

Goals for managing diabetes Main nutrients in food How to plan meals How to eat in a way that supports better blood sugar control

Nutrition educational program

Participants in the intervention group will attend a structured nutrition education program consisting of four monthly sessions, each lasting approximately 40 to 60 minutes. These sessions will be conducted in small groups by the researcher. Each session includes: A 20-30 minute presentation delivered by the researcher using visual aids, such as slides and educational images. A 20-30 minute interactive discussion to address participants' questions, clarify concepts. Session Topics: Treatment Goals in Diabetes Care: Overview of blood glucose targets and the importance of achieving glycemic control. Key Nutritional Components of Food: Roles of carbohydrates, proteins, fats, fiber, and their impact on blood glucose. Principles of Meal Planning: Adjusting energy intake based on physical activity levels and BMI. Understanding the Food Exchange System: Introduction to food exchange lists; selecting the appropriate number of food exchanges to meet individual energy needs.
