Abstract
The diabetes epidemic which impacts many people globally necessitates patient education to enhance self-management. Artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots hold promise in automizing patient education and lessening healthcare providers' burden. This study assesses the utility of ChatGPT, an AI chatbot created by OpenAI, in responding to the diabetes knowledge questionnaire (24-DKQ). The 24-DKQ, consisting of 24 items, is specifically designed to evaluate patients' diabetes knowledge. We found that ChatGPT accurately answered all 24 questions of the 24-DKQ, and was also able to expand and provide decent explanations. AI technology can serve as an opportunity to create personalized and automated diabetes patient education materials. However, despite AI technology's great potential, its effectiveness remains unclear. It is crucial for researchers, developers, and healthcare professionals to collaborate in order to create AI programs that are validated, reliable, and accurately tailored to the individual needs of people living with diabetes.
