Glycemic control and quality of life in type 2 diabetes patients participating in the ‘ngay dau tien’ program in combination with Gliclazide MR
Main Article Content
Abstract
The study was conducted to compare glycemic control outcomes and quality of life between patients with type 2 diabetes who used the “Ngay dau tien” and a group receiving routine care. A total of 155 patients, including 68 patients who used the Ngay dau tien and 87 patients who received routine care; all were followed for 6 months. The counseling group had a mean age of 66.7 ± 7.6 years old, females patients represented 54.4%. The routine care group had a mean age of 66.3 ± 9.5 years old, females represented 55.2%. In the counseling group, the HbA1c decreased to 7.4% after 3 months and remained stable at 7.6% at 6 months. In the routine care group, the HbA1c increased after 6 months from 7.5% to 7.9%. The counseling group had a baseline mean quality of life (QoL) score of 0.93, showed a slight decrease to 0.91 after 6 months. In the routine care group, the mean QoL score decreased to 0.87 after 6 months. Based on the aforementioned results, Ngay dau tien should be integrated into routine care for patients with type 2 diabetes, especially during the first six months after diagnosis.
