Abstract

The ultimate goal of diabetes education is to help patients with diabetes change their health- related behaviors and learn more about their condition. The development of programs resulting in long-term, independent behavioral change demands sustainable means for providing appropriate support and motivation and the availability of affordable and accessible resources. More diabetes education research is required to develop effective strategies that patients can successfully and continuously apply to daily life.
