Randomized, Controlled Trial of Diabetic Patient Education: Improved Knowledge Without Improved Metabolic Status
Abstract
We randomized 749 insulin-treated patients on the rolls of the Mount Sinai Medical Center Diabetes Clinic in a controlled trial of diabetic patient education; 345 agreed to participate, of whom 165 were assigned to the education group and 180 to the control group. Cognitive scores increased from 5.3 ± 1.6 to 5.8 ± 1.6 in the education group, but there was no change in the control group, whose score was 5.3 ± 1.7 before and after the intervention (P = .0073). HbA1c fell from 6.8 ± 2.1 to 6.1 ± 2.0% in the education group and from 6.6 ± 2.0 to 6.3 ± 2.0% in the control group, an insignificant difference (P = . 1995). The fasting blood glucose decreased from 223 ± 94 to 179 ± 73 mg/dl in the education group and from 199 ± 81 to 185 ± 76 mg/dl in the controls (P = .1983). Triglycerides, high- and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and insulin dosage also failed to show significant variation among groups.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
