Popis: Objective The prevalence of Type 2 Diabetes in the UK during 2013 was 0.6%, equating to 3.2 million people. Forecasts indicate that three people will be diagnosed every ten minutes by 2025. Ineffective methods or delays in thorough patient education leaves the patient at risk of developing foot complications among wider issues of morbidity. This research aimed to test the efficacy of patient education for Type 2 Diabetes by analysing patients’ views following their educational programme. The project aimed to highlight the value of such education programmes and to encourage wider holistic awareness of education in patient management.
