New Era of Diabetes Education

Diabetes education has evolved from didactic instructions to more learner- centered, self-management and empowering experiences. Now, with a person-centered, relationship building patient care, a person with diabetes (PWD) is driving the learning needs instead of healthcare providers (HCP). As HCP we partner with our patients in helping them to realize their diabetes care potentials, provide them choices/education and assist in decision-making. But ultimately, a PWD is in charge of his/her decision-making based on what he/she he is willing and able to do.
