Diabetes knowledge of adults who require insulin is examined in this two-part article. Part I reports on the study findings related to diabetes education and compares documented educational nursing interventions with post-home care knowledge outcomes. Part II, which will appear next month, reports on patients' self-efficacy for diabetes management before and after home care. Strategies for improving patient outcomes are presented.
