Introduction - ENTRED Education aims to describe the quality of life and educational needs of people with diabetes in France. Materials and Methods - In 2007, among a random sample of 8,926 people with diabetes receiving treatment (CNAMT and RSI databases), 3,847 people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and 273 people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) completed a self-administered postal questionnaire on information and educational approaches. Responses were weighted according to sampling methods and the characteristics of non-respondents. On average, age, duration of diabetes, and glycated hemoglobin levels were 66 years, 11 years, and 7.1% in T2D, and 42 years, 17 years, and 7.9% in T1D. Results - 80% of T1D and T2D patients report being well-informed about their condition. 40% of T1D patients received educational support in the previous year, compared to only 17% of T2D patients, 43% of whom did not answer the question. 83% of T1D patients received written dietary advice, compared to only 60% of T2D patients. The majority of T1D (84%) and T2D (85%) consider the treatment recommendations they received to be acceptable, but T1D patients find them bothersome more often (53% vs. 35%). T1D and T2D patients feel capable of managing their treatment, either on their own or with the help of those around them (94% and 96%). People with T1D more often feel capable of managing monitoring (92% and 78%) and diet (88% and 77%). Managing physical activity is difficult for 20% of T1Ds and 22% of T2Ds, of whom 10% report not having to engage in it. 69% of T2Ds view the future with confidence, compared to only 41% of T1Ds. Conclusion - This study shows that people with diabetes consider themselves well-informed. Differences exist between T1D and T2D in the perception of the ability to manage the various aspects of treatment, the perception of the burden of the disease, and the outlook for the future with the disease, which are more negative among T1D patients.
