This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of an educational program to educate students with learning difficulties with diabetes about food choices that improve diabetes rate and academic achievement. The descriptive and semiexperimental approach was used using the design of two equal groups and one group. The descriptive sample includes (120) female students with learning difficulties with diabetes, whose ages range between (12-15) years, with an average age of (13.5) years and a standard deviation of (0.87) years. (20) of them were selected to participate in the educational program, and they were divided to an experimental and control group of (10) female students in each group. The study used a measure of awareness of food choices that improve diabetes rate and academic achievement, and an educational program (prepared by the two researchers). The results of the study show that the level of awareness of food choices among female students is average, and that the highest dimension is the food choices that improve the rate of diabetes, followed by the food choices that improve the rate of academic achievement, and that there are statistically significant differences between the two groups in the post-measurement in favor of the experimental group, and that these differences She continued in the follow-up measurement, and there were statistically significant differences between the pre and post measurement in the experimental group in favor of the post measurement, which indicates the effectiveness of the program in raising the level of awareness of food choices that improve the rate of diabetes and the academic achievement of students with learning difficulties with diabetes.
