This systematic review found robust data demonstrating that engagement in diabetes self-management education results in a statistically significant decrease in A1C levels .
PRACTICE IMPLICATION S The data suggest mode of delivery , hours of engagement , and baseline A1C can affect the likelihood of achieving statistically significant and clinical ly meaningful improvement in A1C

Effect of structured group education on glycemic control and hypoglycemia in insulin-treated patients.
We investigated the effect of a structured group diabetes education program ( 1 ) on insulin-treated patients who had received individual counseling ( at the time of diagnosis and insulin initiation ) . A total of 1,369 type 1 and insulin-treated type 2 diabetic patients with mean disease duration of 11.7 and 13.7 years , respectively , were allocated to receive or not receive structured group education , which was delivered in 10 45-min sessions over 3–5 days . Baseline GHb levels of type 1 diabetic patients were 9.3 % for
