Objective This study aims to explore the application effect of evidence-based nursing intervention in elderly diabetes care. Through systematic nursing intervention, evaluate its actual impact on blood sugar control, complication prevention and quality of life improvement, and provide effective basis for clinical nursing. Methods 70 elderly patients with diabetes admitted to our hospital from March 2023 to March 2024 were selected and divided into an observation group and a control group by grouping method, with 35 cases in each group. The control group adopted conventional nursing mode, and the observation group added evidence-based nursing intervention on this basis. The intervention content included diet management, exercise guidance, blood sugar monitoring and complication prevention. The nursing cycle of both groups of patients was 6 months, and the fasting blood glucose (FPG), glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and complication incidence before and after nursing were compared between the two groups. Results After 6 months of intervention, the fasting blood glucose level in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group (observation group: 6.5±1.2 mmol/L, control group: 8.3±1.5 mmol/L, P＜0.05), and the glycosylated hemoglobin level also decreased significantly (observation group: 6.8%±0.9%, control group: 8.1%±1.1%, P＜0.05). In addition, the incidence of complications in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group (observation group: 14.3%, control group: 28.6%, P＜0.05), and the quality of life score of patients was significantly improved. Conclusion Evidence-based nursing intervention can significantly improve blood glucose control, reduce the incidence of complications, and improve the quality of life of elderly patients with diabetes. This nursing model has high clinical application value and should be widely promoted in diabetes nursing.
