Developmental of Life Style Modification Promoting Program toward Blood Sugar Level among Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients

Abstract

This research and development study aim to study the health practice behaviors and the blood sugar control ability among type 2 diabetes mellitus patients at Baan Houy Som, Sub-district health promotion hospital. Then develop program and explore the feasibility of blood sugar control ability program. The samples were separated according to the phase of study which were factors explore and develop program phase the samples were 40 type 2diabetes mellitus patients which separated into two group; group 1 was patients who could be controlled blood glucose levels and group 2 was uncontrolled blood glucose levels.The phase to explore the feasibility of program the samples were 10 type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. The tools were composed of the demographic data record form and the blood sugar controlled behavior’s questionnaire.Descriptive statistics and inferential statistics (Fisher's exact test and t-test statistics) were used for data analyses.

          The results revealed that patient who could be controlled sugar levels had highest level of food and drug consuming behavior with mean score of 26 (SD=4.08) and 12.6 (SD=2.35), respectively which were higher than the group who uncontrolled blood sugar with showed moderate food and drug consuming mean score about 23.4(SD=5.14) and 12.2 (SD=2.18) with non-statistical significance. The exercise practice in the groups of controlled blood sugar level is moderate level with average score of 8.65(SD=2.91). The uncontrolled sugar levels group is the lowest level average =8.1(SD=3.14) but have no statistical significance. For vices behavior and emotional are moderately level with similar in the two groups.The program to promote ability behaviors to blood sugar controlled composed of home visit activity and drug compliance box innovation. The feasibility result showed that 70% (7/10) of DM patients can lowering blood sugar, 30% were as previous level with no complication. The encourage behavior modification program can be applied for diabetic patients to control glucose levels and prevent complications.
