Abstract: A total of 216 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and their family members were randomly divided into intervention and control groups.On the basis of conventional drug therapy,for intervention group,the patients and their family members were instructed to participate in health education activities and self-monitoring guidance.For control group,only patients were required to participate.The intervention continued for 12 months.Compared with control group,the intervention group significantly improved their living habits and the level of knowledge structure.The levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL),2 h postprandial blood glucose and glycated hemoglobin improved after intervening.And there were statistically significant differences (P ＜ 0.05).The family members of patients had more knowledge of identifying and dealing with low blood sugar while their knowledge of medication and regular monitoring was significantly better than that of control group.And there were statistically significant differences (P ＜ 0.05).Family-involved diabetic management is conducive for forming diabetic self-management behaviors.
