目的：本研究旨在检测2型糖尿病患者一些健康指标的变化，即：报告的自我保健活动、与健康相关的生活质量，以及患者对阿联酋沙迦市三家社区药店提供的服务的看法。方法：对一组患者进行24个月以上的随访。接受调查的患者在研究的前三个月收到了提醒包裹。在研究进行3个月后，没有发出任何提醒。重复测量的方差分析被用来检验不同时期均值之间的差异。结果：所有纳入这项研究的患者在基线时都有不良的饮食和运动行为。在研究的三个月里，超过27%的患者有可以接受的饮食、锻炼、足部护理和自我测试行为。然而，6个月和24个月的评估显示，平均分数几乎恢复到基线水平。总体健康(5.86分，p=0.001)、活力(5.25分，p<0.05)的初值(基线数据)和终值(研究结束时)的平均值有显著差异。

Results: All patients included in this study were found to have poor diet and exercise behavior at baseline. Three months into the study, more than 27% of the patients had acceptable diet, exercise, foot care and self-testing behavior. However, evaluation at six months and 24-months show that mean scores had almost returned to baseline levels. There were significant differences between the mean values of initial (baseline data) and final (at the end of the study) scores for general health (5.86, p=0.001), vitality (5.25, p
