Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a major cause of morbidity worldwide. The prevalence of DM has doubled over the last 35 years and is escalating. Various complications and manifestations of diabetes have caused numerous deaths worldwide, with numbers increasing every year. There have been many advances and breakthroughs over the past decade in the management of DM. The major focus of many research studies has been to evaluate effective medication combinations, preventative measures, and the way to control such morbid conditions. Our focus in this review is to discuss specific secondary prevention techniques with the diabetes log sheet and educational literature on its effectiveness in controlling diabetes. Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) has been accepted as a diabetes control measure in many resources worldwide. Here, we have assessed articles on the effectiveness of the diabetes log sheet and educational literature on HbA1c levels. We will begin with a few key points to acknowledge diabetes initially, followed by discussing the effectiveness of the diabetes log sheet and literature on HbA1c.
