Abstract: Objective: To explore the effect of interaction model on management of Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients in community. Methods: A total of 82 patients with T2DM from two different communities were divided into the experimental group and the control group. The control group patients got traditional management, while patients in experimental group accepted interactive intervention. Then patients' self-management behavior and blood glucose control status (HbA1c level) of the two groups were evaluated before and 6 months after the intervention. Results: After the intervention, the self-management behavior scores of the two groups improved significantly, and the score in experimental group was higher than that of the control group, except for medication compliance dimension. And HbA1c level of the experimental group was lower than that of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: The interactive intervention model could improve the self-management behavior, and then effectively control the blood-glucose of patients with type 2 diabetes in community.
