Abstract Background: Education plays a key role in the development of self-management skills for people with type 2 diabetes, although there is limited evidence for the use of video education. Aims: To develop a video-based lifestyle education programme for people newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and to evaluate changes in knowledge, biomedical indices and quality of life. Methods: Forty-two newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic subjects were recruited and randomly allocated to either a video education or control group. Data were collected at baseline and 6 months after the intervention. Subjects (43% male) had a mean (SD) age of 60.8 (9.6) years, weight 89.5 (15.5) kg, BMI 31.3 (5.1) kg m(2), glycated haemoglobin (A1c) 7.4 (1.7)%, total cholesterol 4.7 (1.2) mmol L(-1), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol 1.15 (0.34) mmol L(-1), triglycerides 1.8 (1.0) mmol L(-1), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol 2.8 (1.0) mmol L(-1), pedometer reading 5721 (3446) steps per day. There were 63.7% correct answers given to the ADKnowl questionnaire and the WHO-5 Well-Being score was 65.8%. Results: At 6 months, the intervention group showed increased knowledge compared to controls (74.3% versus 56.4% correct answers, P PMID: 20497292
