Summary

This study tested whether a six-week empowerment-based health education program could improve self-management in 50 adults with type 2 diabetes. Participants learned about diabetes, diet, and physical activity through group activities and discussions. The goal was to see if this approach could lower blood sugar levels and improve knowledge, confidence, and daily self-care behaviors.
