Objective: To explore the influence of family empowerment guidance on blood glucose control, dietary behavior compliance and self-perceived burden in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods: From June to December 2020, 101 cases were included in the control group. From January to June 2021， 107 cases were included in the observation group. The control group took routine care, and the observation group used family empowerment guidance for intervention.The fasting blood glucose, blood glucose 2 h after breakfast, glycosylated hemoglobin, blood glucose monitoring frequency, dietary behavior compliance, and self-experience burden levels of patients before intervention, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months after discharge were compared between the two groups. Results: 3 months and 6 months after discharge, the observation group’s fasting blood glucose, 2 h blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, and blood glucose monitoring frequency were better than those of the control group (P<0.05).The total scores of dietary behavior compliance and the scores of all dimensions, the total score of self-feeling burden and the scores of all dimensions of the observation group were higher than those of the control group at 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after discharge (P<0.05).Conclusion: Family empowerment guidance can help stabilize the blood sugar of elderly type 2 diabetic patients, improve compliance with dietary behaviors, and reduce self-perceived burden.

Objective: To explore the impact of Kolb experiential education measures on the effect of blood sugar control, self-management ability and patient activation in type 2 diabetes patients. Methods: A total of 160 patients with type 2 diabetes admitted to a Grade A hospital in Tianjin from October 2018 to August 2019 were included in the study. Among them 78 cases were included in the control group from October 2018 to March 2019, and 82 cases were included in the observation group from April to August 2019. The control group took conventional nursing measures, and the observation group took Kolb experiential education measures. The fasting blood glucose, blood glucose 2 h after breakfast, glycosylated hemoglobin(HbA1c), monitoring frequency of blood glucose, self-management ability, and patient enthusiasm were compared between the two groups before intervention, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months after discharge. Results: The fasting blood glucose, 2 h blood glucose after breakfast, HbA1c and monitoring frequency of blood glucose in the observation group were all better than those in the control group 3 months and 6 months after discharge（ P<0.05）. 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after discharge, the scores of total and various dimensions for self-management ability and positive degree in observation group were higher than those in control group（ P<0.05）. Conclusion: Kolb experiential education measures can help diabetic patients to stabilize blood sugar, enhance self-management ability, and improve treatment activation.
