%X This semi-experimental study was conducted to determine the effects of diabetes education on degree of suffering from and symptoms of diabetes in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This study was carried out in Mu£¿la S£¿tk£¿ Ko£¿man Training and Research Hospital Internal Diseases Clinic. Among the study population of 213 patients, 106 were in the control group and 107 were in the intervention group. A general questionnaire and the revised diabetes symptom checklist scale (DSC-R) were used for data collection. Among the study population, 56.3% were males and 36.2% were between 40 and 54 years of age. Statistically significant differences were found between the control and intervention groups in DSC-R scale and its hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia, psychology, and neurology subscales (p<0.05). According to the results, it was determined that the mean score of the pre-training score was higher than the post-training score. The diabetes education program led to remarkable improvements in ¡°irritability just before a meal¡± among hypoglycemia subscale, in ¡°very thirsty¡± among hyperglycemia subscale, in ¡°alternating clear and blurred vision¡± among ophthalmology subscale, in almost all symptoms among psychology subscale, and in ¡°aching calves when walking¡± among neurology subscale.
