  ABSTRACT: Aims: To investigate the effects of a newly developed color-coded educational glucose control instruction (COLOR), combined with a color-displayed glucose meter on changes in type-2 diabetes patient’s behavior and their HbA1c levels. Material and Methods: Patients using a COLOR-self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) method were instructed to record daily blood glucose levels with red (high glucose ≥ 180 mg/dL) or blue (low glucose ≤ 70 mg/dL) colored circles on their SMBG notebooks according to the colors displayed on the glucose meter. Results: COLOR-SMBG showed an improved the actual behavior modification scores by 14% compared to Conventional group at 1-month follow-up (p
