Health Literacy in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

"The participants in the multidisciplinary assessment were followed by multidisciplinary teams from the study target-units, by individual and collective interviews, which mirror the care protocol. The frequency of individual visits was at least every six months by a nurse, a physician, and a nutritionist.~Regarding the collective activities, the educational groups met for approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes on monthly basis over a period of six months. Considering that there were two FHU in the IG, each team held one activity per month.~For the development of the collective activities, methods recognized for intensifying integration and participation, such as using simple language and confirming the participants' understanding of the information covered in the group were recommended."
