Educating patients with type 2 diabetes

C Beebe et al. Nurs Clin North Am. 2001 Jun.

Abstract

The patient is the self-manager of type 2 diabetes. The role of the health care professional is to provide the knowledge, skills, and behavior change support to empower the patient to do so. Recent governmental, financial, and clinical factors influence how health care professionals perform this role. Such factors coupled with a growing body of research evidence are shaping the way diabetes self-management education is provided.
