Twenty-two South Asian adults with type 2 diabetes took part in a pilot study that aimed to evaluate how much they understood about their diabetes condition. The Statements to Assess Diabetes Knowledge (SADK) questionnaire, which was specifically designed to assess participants’ learning, was applied before and after exposure to language-specific educational videos. The usefulness of these videos had not previously been evaluated in any way. Findings demonstrated that the SADK questionnaire was useful in showing that learning had occurred, each individual’s improved understanding, and where further input was needed on a one-to-one basis. Further work is needed to test the effectiveness ofthe SADKquestionnairewith a larger sample group.
