A pilot service-evaluation examining change in HbA1c related to the prescription of internet-based education films for type 2 diabetes

We undertook a pilot service-evaluation of prescribed internet-based patient education films for patients with type 2 diabetes. The uptake was 28% and film watching was associated with a relative mean difference in HbA1c of −9.0 mmol/mol in the film watchers compared to non-watchers over a three-month period (P = 0.0008).
