Diabetes Self-Management Through Educational Intervention

Diabetes is a disease in which patient participation in treatment is crucial to the control of the disease. With the damaged beta cells and reduced insulin production a balance of diet, exercise, and insulin is beneficial. As the blood glucose level measures control at a specific point in time, the glycosylated hemoglobin measures the level of control over days, weeks, and months. With the availability of standardized test procedures to ascertain control this study was undertaken to present an educational intervention program (Diabetes Self-Management) in four phases to provide knowledge and skills to assist the diabetic patient in balancing diet, exercise, and insulin to acquire a lowered or normal glycosylated hemoglobin level.
