Enhancing Self- Management in Diabetes: The Value of Therapeutic Education
Journal Title: International Journal of Health Sciences and Research - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 6
Abstract
Diabetes is among the most common, serious and costly chronic diseases and a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Patient education is accepted as a valid component of chronic disease management for patients with chronic conditions. Most of diabetic individuals do not reach their glycemic target, leading to the appearance of health-related problems and complications associated with diabetes. Diabetes self-management education, the process of teaching individuals to manage their diabetes is a cornerstone of diabetes care and could improve glycemic control, alter patient behavior, and reduce diabetes complications.
