People with diabetes need effective patient education to enable them to manage their diabetes on a day-to-day basis. You'll be best equipped to do this if you're given information and education when you're diagnosed and then on an ongoing basis to provide you with the knowledge and skills you need.
Our structured learning:
covers all aspects of diabetes
is flexible in content
is relevant to a person's clinical and psychological needs
is adaptable to a person's circumstances
You need to go on a course that meets your needs and will support you. Different courses will suit different people, depending on things like what type of diabetes they have, and how long they have had it.
To find out more about the courses available to you, and to book onto a course, please check out the Diabetes Book and Learn website and use the booking tool found on the homepage.
Whilst I was a little apprehensive about going to a group course, I found hearing about diabetes with others who were like me was really helpful.
