Objective　To investigate the application of individualized health education in patients with diabetes and its effect on compliance with doctor's advice. Methods　A total of 102 patients with diabetes who were admitted to our hospital were randomly divided into control group and observation group

with 51 patients in each group. The patients in the control group were given conventional hypoglycemic therapy

and those in the observation group were given hypoglycemic therapy combined with individualized health education. Health education investigation was performed to evaluate patients' compliance with doctor's advice. SPSS 13.0 was used for the chi-square test. Results　The observation group had a significantly higher rate of compliance with doctor's advice than the control group from the following five aspects: treatment compliance (98.04% vs 80.39%

P<0.05)

smoking quitting and alcohol limiting (92.16% vs 72.55%

P<0.05)

rational diet (86.27% vs 66.67%

P<0.05)

exercise (80.39% vs 58.82%

P<0.05)

and blood glucose monitoring (84.31% vs 62.75%

P<0.05). Conclusion　The application of individualized health education in patients with diabetes can effectively improve their compliance with doctor's advice

and therefore

it holds promise for clinical application.
