Patient education in treatment of diabetes
Özet
The importance of improved glycemic control in delaying the onset and progression of serious microvascular complications is now clear. Treatment of diabetes leading to improved control is a 24 hour-a-day activity and often includes important changes in lifestyle, most of which persons with diabetes must provide for themselves on daily basis. The goal of diabetes self management education is not simply to increase knowledge about diabetes, but rather to support individuals with diabetes and their families in their efforts to incorporate diabetes treatment into their lifestyles. Diabetes education improves well being and quality of life of the patient, self-care management and improves metabolic control. Education enhances the prevention and early detection of complications. Education decreases costs of care. © 2012 OMU.
