The Benefits of Partnering with a Diabetes Educator
Diabetes Educators are healthcare professionals – nurses, dietitians, pharmacists, doctors, exercise physiologists, podiatrists and social workers, among others – who specialize in the treatment of people with diabetes.
Diabetes Educators provide comprehensive care – Using the framework of the AADE7™ Self-Care Behaviors, they counsel you on how to incorporate healthy eating and physical activity into your life. They also help you understand how your medications work, how to monitor your blood glucose level to avoid the risk of complications, and how to problem solve and adjust emotionally to diabetes.
Diabetes Educators put the focus on you – By getting to know you as an individual, they are able to help create a self-management plan that meets your needs – one based on your age, school or work schedule, as well as your daily activities, family demands, eating habits and health problems.
