This study also evaluated its effectiveness on improving glycemic control, attitude towards diabetes, knowledge about diabetes and self-care for type 2 diabetes patients in Taiwan. The followings were the hypotheses of the study:
- 1.Compared to the control group, intervention group receiving "Line" based video education has a greater improvement on glycosylated hemoglobin (A1C).
- 2.Compared to the control group, intervention group receiving "Line" based video education has a greater positive effect on attitude towards diabetes.
- 3.Compared to the control group, intervention group receiving "Line" based video education has a better understanding on diabetic knowledge.
- 4.Compared to the control group, intervention group receiving "Line" based video education has a greater positive effect on self-care activity.

Limitations and Caveats
Limitations include the small sample size with a homogenous population in this study, which created population bias and limited the generalizability of the current study. The result in this study could only predict the short-term effect of TMU-LOVE due to a time restriction of 12 weeks, the long-term effect was not feasible.
