Abstract：Objective To explore the WeChat follow-up on the compliance of insulin injection of type-2 diabetes patients after their discharge. Methods Totally 135 patients with type-2 diabetes and treated systematically with insulin between March and September 2016 were randomly divided into a WeChat follow-up group of 73 and a control group of 62 after their permission. Both groups were given health education before their discharge and regular telephone follow-up after their discharge, while the WeChat follow-up group was additionally provided with guidance through WeChat. After 3-month intervention, the compliance of insulin injection and the rate of adverse reactions were recorded and compared between the two groups. Results The compliance of the WeChat follow-up group was significantly better than that of the control group, while the rate of adverse reactions was significantly lower than that of the control group (χ2=7.679, P=0.001). Conclusion For type-2 diabetes patients, WeChat follow-up after their discharge helps to improve their compliance of insulin injection, control of the blood sugar level and reduce the occurrence of adverse reactions, altogether improving their life quality.
