Patients with HbA1c <6.5% improved notably for the experimental
group, from 4.5% at baseline to 22.7% during visit 3 at
week 16 and 28.8% during visit 4 at week 28, with statistical
significance (table 2). The mean HbA1c dropped from 8.18%
(95% CI 7.82% to 8.54%) at baseline to 7.22% (95% CI 6.93% to
7.49%) at visit 3 and was maintained at visit 4. The improvement
in HbA1c was not found to be significant for the control
group (table 2). The mean differences in DM self efficacy score in
the experimental group from visit 1 to visit 2, visit 3 and visit 4
are all significantly larger than for the control group (figure 2).
Significant differences in the decreases of BMI were found
between the experimental and control groups from visit 1 to
visit 2 (intervention group from 25.1 to 24.5, control group from
25.6 to 25.5; p¼0.001) and visit 1 to visit 3 (intervention group
from 25.1 to 24.7, control group 25.6 to 25.6; p¼0.012) (table 2).
Significant differences between the experimental and control
groups were observed in the decreases of waist: hip ratio from
visit 1 to visit 4 (intervention group from 0.92 to 0.9, control
group from 0.92 to 0.93, p¼0.01) (table 2).
