      <dc:description>Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) is a highly prevalent disease, the progression of which&#xd;
depends on high blood glucose levels, which are reflected in the level of glycosylated haemoglobin&#xd;
(HbA1c). Appropriate health education equips patients with the knowledge and skills to control their&#xd;
glucose and HbA1c levels to avoid long-term complications. This study was set up to compare the&#xd;
results of an intensive (360 min) educational intervention to improve HbA1c parameters in patients&#xd;
with DM2 with those of a usual 90 min intervention. For this purpose, healthcare personnel led a&#xd;
quasi-experimental study of 249 diabetics: 171 in the control group, and 78 in the intervention group.&#xd;
In the control group, the mean HbA1c value decreased from 6.97 to 6.75, while in intervention group&#xd;
it fell from 8.97 to 8.06. The before and after mean difference between both groups was compared&#xd;
with a Wilcoxon test, and the results statistically significant (W = 4530; p &lt; 0.001), indicating a higher&#xd;
reduction of HbA1c in the intervention group. We concluded that the intensive health education&#xd;
provided by nurses during the consultation helped improve HBA1c levels in persons with DM2.</dc:description>
