Diabetes self-management education has been involved in the prevention of diabetes-related complications among type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. Emphasis was on healthy food choices, increase in physical activities, and medication adherence. Purpose: The purpose of the evidence-based practice (EBP) project was to evaluate the effect of education on T2DM inmates 18 years and older on lifestyle changes such as weight loss. Methods: This was an EBP project conducted on 20 participants with T2DM. Project implementation lasted a total of 10 weeks. Interventions were individualized education sessions focusing on various aspects of diabetes control. Pre- and post-test utilized diabetes knowledge test 2 (DKT2) for interventions. Results: The mean percentage score on the pre-test was 63.65% with a SD of 8.35 compared to post-test score of 89.47% and SD of 3.64. There was a 25.82% increase in participants' knowledge post-intervention. The secondary outcome measured weight changes among the participants. Mean of pre-intervention weight was 234.31 pounds, median of 225 pounds, mode of 214 pounds, and a SD of 40.38. Post-intervention weight had a mean of 231.37 pounds, median of 219 pounds, mode of 256 pounds, and SD of 40.24. The difference between pre-and post-intervention weights was 1.25%. Implications for practice: Nurse practitioners play major roles in leading the interprofessional team and in providing health promotion policies and principles to various groups of patients. Successful planning, implementation, and sustaining continuity of change requires multidisciplinary involvement.
