Abstract

Aims and objectives To evaluate the effects of empowerment case management on the physical health of patients with type 2 diabetes. Background Diabetes is a global health issue. Case management is often used on diabetes management at various levels. Empowerment has been used for chronic situation management, but its effects have not been widely studied in diabetic populations.

Methods Empowerment case management was applied for 42 participants, while the other 83 received normal case management. Survey items included demographics, preprandial (AC) and postprandial (PC) blood sugar levels, glycated haemoglobin (HbA1C), systolic and diastolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, and the presence or absence of acute and chronic complications. Descriptive statistics and a generalised estimating equation were used to analyse the model's effects on the two groups. Results The PC blood sugar levels of patients receiving empowerment case management declined at 3 months (B = −34.26, p
