1st Edition
by Trisha Dunning (Editor)
Diabetes education is a process, the key to which is establishing a
therapeutic relationship with the individual. The overall goal of
diabetes education is to enhance the individual’s health capability,
including their ability to solve problems and apply the learning to
self-care. Thus, diabetes education is an interactive process of
teaching and learning where information is co-generated. This
innovative and thought-provoking new book explores the ‘how’ of diabetes
education, rather than the ‘what’ and the ‘why’.
Diabetes Education: Art, Science and Evidence
