Diabetes patient education

Abstract

Not all medical practices are equipped to provide diabetes self-management training. Physicians can incorporate a team approach in their practice by establishing collaborative relationships with recognized diabetes education programs. The ADA's education recognition program has identified diabetes education programs that meet the National Standards for Diabetes Self-Management Education Programs. This list is available on the ADA's web site at http://www.diabetes.org/recognition and is printed twice a year in Diabetes Forecast. The National Certification Board for Diabetes Educators (NDEA) can provide a list of CDEs in your area. The South Carolina Model Diabetes Patient Education Program of DSC and SCDCP/DHEC is an excellent critical step towards obtaining ADA recognition.
