Clinical Trial Summary

Diabetes is one of the biggest public health problems of the 21st century. Type 2 diabetes mellitus accounts for more than 90% of all diabetes cases and is the most common type of diabetes. Type 2 diabetes, in which genetic and environmental factors play a role,It is a metabolic disorder in which insulin resistance, decrease in insulin secretion and incretin hormone deficiency are effective in its physiopathology, characterized by polydipsia, polyphagia and polyuria, where the organism cannot adequately benefit from carbohydrates, fats and proteins due to insulin deficiency or defects in the effect of insulin, which requires continuous medical care.

Diabetes is a major cause of blindness, end-stage renal disease, coronary artery disease, stroke and inferior extremity amputations. These complications due to diabetes impair the patient's quality of life and impose social, financial and emotional burdens on both the patient and their family.

Diabetes education should be provided by healthcare professionals in order to ensure that diabetes patients knowledge and skills to prevent complications and provide better self management and self-care.

However, The fact that individuals do not have time to spare for face-to-face health education, the possibility of accessing information in the web environment repeatedly and the lower cost of education in the web environment compared to classical education increases the importance of web-based health education. The widespread use of mobile technologies in recent years has led to the development of new mobile applications related to diabetes.

The disquisition proposal the investigators prepared was created to investigate the effect of mobile application supported diabetes and nutrition education on type 2 diabetes self-management and blood sugar in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes patients.

In this context, with the development of a mobile application prepared in visual, text and video format to provide diabetes education, the monitoring of blood parameters before and after diabetes education, and the implementation of the Type 2 Diabetes Self-Management Scale, (which consists of 19 items developed in 2020), and type 2 diabetes self-management and the effect on blood sugar will be examined. This study will provide answers to questions about the effectiveness of diabetes education given to Type 2 Diabetes patients via mobile applications on diabetes self-management and blood parameters.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	The effect of mobile application supported diabetes education on type 2 diabetes self-management.	Type 2 diabetes self-management scores of the participants in the study group and control group will be compared.; For this comparison, the "Type 2 Diabetes Self-Management Scale" consisting of 3 sub-titles (Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors, Blood Sugar Management, Health Services Use) and 19 items developed in 2020 will be applied.; (Scoring: Always 5, Often 4, Sometimes 3, Rarely 2, Never 1 point). Those with higher scores will be considered to show better self-management. This scale will first be administered to the participants when they are diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in the hospital.; Participants will be given diabetes and nutrition education for 3 months, and the Type 2 Diabetes Self-Management Scale will be repeated by inviting them to the hospital for control.; Then, the participants will be taken into a 3-month follow-up process and at the end of the process, they will be invited to the hospital for control and the Type 2 Diabetes Self-Management Scale will be repeated.	6 Month
Primary	The effect of mobile application supported diabetes education on blood sugar	The physician participating in the study will measure the Fasting Blood Sugar (mg/dl) values of the participants.; When the participants are diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, their Fasting Blood Sugar (mg/dl) values will be measured and a 3-month diabetes education will be given. At the end of this diabetes training, the participants will be invited to the hospital for control and their Fasting Blood Sugar (mg/dl) values will be measured again.; Then, the participants will be taken to the 3-month follow-up process and at the end of the process, the participants will be invited to the hospital for control and their Fasting Blood Sugar (mg/dl) values will be measured again.; At the end of the research, the effects of mobile application supported diabetes education on fasting blood sugar (mg/dl) will be compared with the routine diabetes education given in the hospital.	6 Months
