Text: Patients of the DikoL group had a comparable quality of diabetes control (HbAlc : DikoL vs. standard group : 8. 5 + 1. 3 vs. 8. 3 + / - 1. 4 % ; p = 0. 62) and diabetes-related knowledge (DikoL vs. standard group : 9. 6 + / - 4. 4 vs. 10. 3 + 3. 8 points ; p = 0. 52), but significantly better results in respect of their ability for diabetes self-management (DikoL vs. standard group : 15. 9 + / - 3. 1 vs. 12. 5 + / - 4. 1 points ; p = 0. 001) than patients of the standard group.
