Changes in Serum Blood Glucose Profiles, Serum Blood Lipid Profiles, Weight, and Body Mass Index After 3 months of the En Balance Diabetes Education Program^a

Variables	Baseline	Three Months	Mean Difference	P
FBG (mg/dl)	167.90 ± 82.46	154.26 ± 70.16	−13.64	0.134
A1C, %	8.53 ± 2.58	7.63 ± 1.71	−0.894	.008^*
Insulin, uU/mL	13.72 ± 11.31	16.73 ± 13.33	3.01	.050^*
Cholesterol, mg/dL
Total	191.38 ± 34.30	177.94 ± 40.98	−13.43	.005^*
LDL	120.67 ± 32.27	110.38 ± 34.80	−10.28	.030^*
HDL	49.74 ± 10.48	46.90 ± 9.97	−2.84	.012^*
Cholesterol:HDL	3.99 ± 1.05	3.94 ± 1.12	−0.048	.679
Triglycerides, mg/dL	166.21 ± 83.67	170.79 ± 102.77	4.59	.641
Body weight, kg	81.62 ± 17.66	81.62 ± 17.11	−0.003	.993
Body mass index, kg/m²	31.67 ± 6.73	31.45 ± 6.47	−0.218	.246

Both sexes: n, 39. The data are shown as mean ± SD. P value is based on Wilcoxon signed–rank test for A1C and LDL; otherwise, P value is based on paired-samples t test. FBG, fasting blood glucose; LDL, low-density lipoprotein; HDL, high-density lipoprotein. For body weight and body mass index: n, 38.
