TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS
Educational intervention was effective in improving the quality of life in individuals living with type 2 diabetes mellitus with a large effect size (0.80). This is reflected in the significant improvement in the HRQOL of the experimental group after educational intervention as against the control group that did not receive the intervention but just relied on routine diabetic care. The large effect size shows that the educational intervention was very effective in improving the quality of life of those living with DM, and should be incorporated as an adjunct in the management of DM.
