Summary

The goal of this quasi-experimental clinical study is to learn whether a telemedicine-based behavioral intervention can improve health outcomes among adult patients with diabetes receiving care at tertiary hospitals in Northwest Amhara, Ethiopia.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Does a telemedicine-based behavioral intervention improve glycemic control (HbA1c) among diabetic patients?
* Does the intervention improve medication adherence among diabetic patients?
* Does the intervention improve diabetes self-care practices?
* Does the intervention increase patients' knowledge about diabetes?
* Does the intervention reduce hospital admissions among diabetic patients?

We will compare patients who receive telemedicine-based counseling with patients who receive usual care to see if the intervention improves glycemic control, medication adherence, self-care practices, diabetes knowledge, and reduces hospital admissions.

Participants will:

* Receive structured telephone-based education every two weeks for three months (intervention group only)
* Participate in 30-50-minute counseling sessions during the first call and 15-30 Minutes sessions during subsequent calls (intervention group only)
* Receive education on diabetes basics, nutrition and meal planning, physical activity, medication management, blood glucose monitoring, complication prevention, and psychosocial support (intervention group only)
* Engage in interactive discussions and receive individualized guidance from trained nurses (intervention group only)
* Continue routine diabetes care at the hospital (both groups)

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Telemedicine-Based Diabetes Self-Management Counseling

Participants in the intervention group will receive telephone-based behavioral counseling focused on diabetes self-management. Counseling sessions will be conducted every two weeks for three months by trained healthcare providers. The intervention will emphasize glycemic control, adherence to prescribed medications, healthy dietary practices, regular physical activity, self-monitoring of blood glucose, recognition of warning signs, and stress management. The program aims to empower patients to actively participate in managing their condition and improving clinical outcomes.
