A study was undertaken to ascertain the validity of Teuscher's method for measuring the increase in knowledge of the disease gained by patients with diabetes after training. An investigation was carried out on the correlation between the increase in knowledge obtained with diabetes training (ΔK) and the decrease in HbA<SUB>1</SUB> (ΔHbA<SUB>1</SUB>) in a group of diabetic patients who were given information concerning their disease. This series comprised ambulatory non-insulin-dependent diabetics without insulin or oral agents (N=79), 26 in the high socioeconomic stratum (Stratum A) and 53 in the middle or low socioeconomic stratum (Stratum B). Diabetes training resulted in an increase in the number of correct answers to questions from 12.6±4.8 to 17.2±1.6 (p<0.001) in Stratum A and from 11.1±3.8 to 15.9±2.6 (p<0.001) in Stratum B, with the HbA<SUB>1</SUB> value decreasing from 10.5±1.5% to 9.4±1.8%(p<0.05) in stratum A and from 11.3±2.3% to 9.7±1.9%(p< 0.001) in Stratum B. Thus, a positive correlation was noted between AK and AHbA, in Stratum A (n=16, r=0.57, p<0.05, Spearman's rank correlation test), whereas no such distinct correlation was observed in Stratum B. In control groups which did not take part in the teaching program, no significant change in these parameters was noted during the 2-month observation period. These results indicate that Teuscher's method is valid and useful as a means of measuring the increase in knowledge of disease acquired by patients with diabetes after training.
