If a person has diabetes, he or she knows how challenging it can be to manage. He or she is expected to eat a healthy and balanced diet, get plenty of physical activity, monitor his or her blood glucose (sugar) throughout the day, take their medications as prescribed, and do all of this to reduce your risk for complications. At times it might seem overwhelming, but a person can thrive with diabetes, and a diabetes care and education specialist can help.
As a member of the diabetes care team, a diabetes care and education specialist works with the patient to develop a management plan that fits his or her lifestyle, beliefs, and culture. They’ll help him or her understand how to use devices like meters, insulin pens, pumps, and continuous glucose monitoring devices; and use the information from these devices and lifestyle to identify patterns and opportunities for improvement.
Diabetes education provided by a diabetes care and education specialist can help people with all types of diabetes better manage their blood glucose, develop coping skills to address the daily challenges of the disease, reduce the risks for complications, decrease costs by reducing or eliminating the need for medications and emergency room visits, and help find and access cost-savings programs.
