Result: 120 of 489 voluntary participants submitted completed baseline data with 4676 patient data. Meanwhile, only 32 participants that submitted completed data of 6 months before after training with 886 patient data. Most of parameters were improve before and after program. The greatest and lowest improvement were on A1c measurement (21%) and smoking assessment (2%). Conclusion: Intensive seminar and training was not enough to empower diabetes management.
