Objective: To investigate the impact of dietary management using teach-back method on glucose and lipid metabolism and quality of life in patients with hepatitis B complicated with diabetes.
Methods: A total of 110 patients with hepatitis B complicated with diabetes admitted to our hospital were selected as the study subjects, and divided into Group A (n=60) and Group B (n=50) in accordance with different intervention measures. Group A was treated with dietary management using teach-back method, while Group B was treated with conventional dietary management. The two groups received follow-up observations. The changes in indices of glucose and lipid metabolism within 12 months after intervention were recorded and compared between the two groups, and the changes in treatment adherence, dietary adherence and quality of life scores were compared between the two groups before and after intervention.
Results: The results showed that at month 1-12 after intervention, Group A had lower levels of fasting plasma glucose (FPG), 2-h post-load plasma glucose (2hPG), hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), triglycerides (TG), and total cholesterol (TC) compared with Group B (P < 0.05). The comparison of treatment adherence revealed that the good and excellent adherence rate in Group A was noticeably higher than that in Group B after intervention (93.33% VS. 70.00%) (P < 0.05). The scores of dietary adherence attitude and behavior and quality of life in Group A were also remarkably higher than those in Group B after intervention (P < 0.05).
Conclusion: The dietary management using teach-back method can effectively improve the indices of glucose and lipid metabolism, treatment adherence, dietary adherence, and quality of life in patients with hepatitis B complicated with diabetes.
