This systematic review presents findings on diabetes self-management education (DSME) as a therapeutic tool to aid glycaemic control in people with type 2 diabetes in general practice settings. DSME encompasses a wide range of educational interventions aimed at changing behaviour and adherence to recommended medical management (American Association of Diabetes Educators [AADE] 2003). Results from literature suggest that DSME interventions have modest effects on glycaemic control but the impact of these interventions in terms of long-term diabetes outcomes is uncertain (Norris, Engelgau and Narayan 2001; Gary' Gerkinger, Guallan, Peyrot and Brancati 2003). / Thesis (MNursing)--University of South Australia, 2006.
