Objective To analyze the effect of health education in the nursing of elderly patients with diabetes. Methods From July 2023 to July 2024, 80 elderly patients with diabetes admitted to our hospital were selected as research subjects. According to the principle of randomization, they were divided into a reference group and an experimental group. Each group included 40 cases. The reference group received routine care, and the experimental group received health education on this basis. Compare the compliance behavior and blood glucose levels between the two groups. Results The scores of various compliance behaviors in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the reference group (P<0.05); Before intervention, there was no significant difference in blood glucose levels between the two groups (P>0.05). After intervention, the blood glucose levels in the experimental group were significantly better than those in the reference group (P<0.05). Conclusion The application of health education in the nursing of elderly patients with diabetes has achieved remarkable results, can significantly enhance patients compliance with medical advice, and effectively manage blood sugar levels, which is worthy of clinical promotion.
