Blood glucose trajectories in diabetes patients receiving CAPDCA model of personalised patient education: A cluster randomised controlled trial
Authors' conclusion
The CAPDCA model can effectively improve the control of HbA1c. The analysis of influencing factors of different trajectories suggested that the model was suitable for patients with different ages, genders, education levels, and disease duration. Further studies would be needed in exploring the application to various diseases and integrating the CAPDCA model with technologies such as artificial intelligence.

Primary result
As reported in the abstract
T
6.356
P < 0.01
lower HbA1c with Intervention
T (HbA1c reduction)
−6.117
P < 0.01
greater HbA1c reduction with Intervention
Further findings
FBG trajectories (Group-Based Trajectory Model (GBTM))
- Two trajectories: Steady descent and rebound; influenced by baseline HbA1c
2 h-PG trajectories (GBTM)
- Three trajectories: High BG-high descent, Medium BG-low descent, low BG-high descent; influenced by baseline HbA1c and medication adherence
Blood glucose post-intervention
- All trajectories reached clinically target ranges post-intervention
- Age, gender, education and disease duration not significantly associated with trajectories
