Effectiveness of a theory-based tailored individual and family self-management education in adults with uncontrolled diabetes: A randomized controlled trial

Objectives: This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of an individual and family self-management (IFSM) education program on triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, self-management, and diabetes distress among adults with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus type 2 (T2DM). Methods: = 34) from March to September 2024. Participants in the intervention group received an 8-week IFSM education program, whereas those in the control group received standard routine care. An automated hematology analyzer XP-100 was used to evaluate triglyceride and fasting blood glucose levels. The Diabetes Distress Scale and Diabetes Self-Management Questionnaire were used to measure diabetes distress and self-management, respectively. Results: < 0.001) than the control group. Conclusions: The findings documented the capacity of IFSM education to reduce TyG and diabetes distress, which could potentially escalate diabetes self-management among individuals with T2DM.
