Abstract

     This research was Quasi-experimental Research by One-Group Pretest-Posttest Design. sample size were 55 diabetic patients. The objective was to study the level of behavior to control blood sugar levels in patients with type 2 diabetes and the results of the program to promote behavior to control blood sugar levels in patients with type 2 diabetes at the community diabetes clinic, Phang Khon Subdistrict, District. Phang Khon, Sakon Nakhon Province. The tools used to collect data were a behavioral assessment for controlling blood sugar levels in patients with type 2 diabetes and a satisfaction measure. Statistical analysis utilized paired sample t-tests to compare results before and after guideline implementation, with a predetermined significance level of 0.05.
     Results: After the experiment, the sample group exhibited higher averages in six areas as follows: 1) Food, 2) Exercise, and 3) Emotions, with significantly increased mean behavioral scores post-experiment, at a statistical significance level of 0.05. Additionally, 4) Smoking, 5) Alcohol consumption, and 6) Blood sugar levels showed reductions in average behavioral scores compared to pre-experiment levels. These reductions were statistically significant at the 0.05 level, indicating a potential decrease in the risk of smoking, alcohol consumption, and blood sugar levels post-intervention.
