Abstract

When you are planning an event to accomplish a specific purpose for a diabetic patient motivating to management their glucose and life style, you must review all of the elements that affect an event, such as the time, place, and participants, the goals, and the schedule of activities of the event. After reviewing such elements, you need to identify the needs of the patients who will be participating in the event. Then you must try to meet both the goals of the event and the needs of the participants in the event. Events can be successful only when they have been planned and operated following the needs and desires of the participants. If the diabetes educator gives good events that have the all above things, the diabetic patients can find a way to control their glucose and life style more easily.
