Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the 
effectiveness of commitment-based education and acceptance 
on blood sugar levels and health-related quality of life in 
women with type II diabetes.
Materials and Methods: The statistical population included 
all diabetic women referred to the endocrinology department 
of Imam Hossein Hospital located in Tehran in the fall of 
1400. The research method was quasi-experimental with preand post-test and follow-up with the control group. The 
available sampling method (30 diabetic women) was selected 
and randomly divided into experimental (n = 15) and control 
(n = 15) groups. The pre-test stage, the Diabetes Quality of 
Life Questionnaire Scale and the fasting blood sugar test were 
performed. Then the experimental group was trained for 8 
sessions and the control group did not receive any intervention 
and at the end both groups underwent post-test and follow-up 
period (3 months). Data analysis was performed using 
univariate analysis of covariance for health-related quality of 
life and repeated measures analysis of variance was used to 
measure fasting blood sugar.
Findings: The results showed that there was a significant 
difference between the experimental and control groups after 
the training. Thus, the mean score of health-related quality of 
life in the experimental group increased compared to the 
control group and the fasting blood sugar level decreased (P 
<0.001)
