Description of the Patient Safety Practice
|
| |
Patient education is conducted in newly diagnosed cases with transition to insulin therapy. We have qualified nurse who runs these educational programs for our patients. Main topics covered are how to use insulin, what are side effects of the disease, what food the patient can eat, examples of activities the patient can do to improve his quality of life.
Education can be a group and individual, and if necessary also can include family members as well. With the arrival of the patient to the diary blood glucose control, one can estimate how much the patient successfully applied rate is, and accordingly, if necessary, repeat the training. Patients can call the center on a daily basis for diabetes education and fix the problem if it exists. Education is the cheapest form of treatment and the most important medicine that contributes to the effectiveness of treatment.
