Aim: Education of diabetic patients is an integral part of effective treatment. In the presented work we compared the knowledge level of diabetes self-care the two groups of patient with diabetes mellitus type 2 with insulin treatment in type depending on the implemented education on disease and its treatment by professionals.

Methods: The sample included 289 patients with diabetes 2 level, treated with insulin in Prešov region. For detecting the level of knowledge, we used a standardized questionnaire Diabetes Knowledge Test. Using a standardized questionnaire Diabetes Care Profile in section - Education and guidance provided in section Diet, for implementing the education of health professionals, we divided the entire set of respondents into two groups of patients (with realized education and without education).

Results: The knowledge level related to diabetic self-care of compared groups of patients differed significantly in favor of the respondents realized through education by professionals. However, the overall knowledge score of educated patients (average success of 60 %) is not considered as optimal.

Conclusion: Proper realization of education affects knowledge, skills and attitudes to the disease in diabetics. It is therefore necessary that the structured education becomes a part of a treatment for each diabetic.

Keywords: education, diabetes mellitus, diabetic, knowledge, Diabetes Knowledge Test
