Purpose
Two diabetes education programs for the initiation of insulin therapy were developed. One program is for the initiation of intensive insulin therapy in type 2 diabetic patients (MEDIAS 2 ICT), the other is for the initiation of a conventional insulin therapy (MEDIAS 2 CT). In the evaluation, these two new developed programs are compared with two education programs which are currently used for the diabetes education. It is expected that the two new developed programs (MEDIAS 2 ICT and MEDIAS 2 CT) can demonstrate non-inferiority with regard to the main outcome variable glycemic control. If non-inferiority can be demonstrated superiority of these programs will be tested.
The results regarding the intervention arms "MEDIAS ICT" vs. " ACC-ICT" (control condition) and the intervention arms "MEDIAS 2 CT" vs. "ACC-CT" (control condition) will be separately analyzed and published.

Detailed Description:
The MEDIAS 2 ICT program is based on a self-management/empowerment approach. It is conducted as a group program comprising 10 lessons of 90 minutes each. EDIAS 2 ICT is designed to help patients perform multiple-injection insulin therapy and adjust their insulin doses depending on carbohydrate consumption, physical exercise, and pre-prandial glucose levels. In addition, MEDIAS 2 ICT focuses on controlling metabolic risk factors (elevated lipids and blood pressure), coping with the risk of late complications, and reducing the emotional burden of diabetes and its treatment.
The active comparator condition (ACC-ICT) consist of a combination of two previously established and evaluated education programs - a diabetes education program to initiate mealtime insulin [16,17] and a hypertension education program for the treatment of hypertension [18,19]. These education programs were developed in the 1980s and 1990s and were more didactic-oriented, focusing primarily on the acquisition of knowledge, skills, and information about the correct treatment of diabetes and hypertension.
Both treatment arms (MEDIAS 2 ICT and ACC-ICT) consisted of 10 lessons, which were conducted as group sessions.
