Life with Diabetes, 6th Edition: A Series of Teaching Outlines

Life with Diabetes has helped thousands of healthcare professionals gain the tools they need to facilitate behavior change and become effective teachers and counselors. This series of teaching outlines was developed and tested by the Michigan Diabetes Research and Training Center, affiliated with the Department of Medical Education of the University of Michigan Medical School. Previous editions of this teaching curriculum have been used by thousands of educators in diabetes clinics throughout North America to help their patients understand and live with the many challenges of diabetes. This newly revised edition provides a structured, patient-centered approach to help diabetes professionals create customized lessons and deliver high-quality diabetes self-management education.

Each chapter is a detailed guide to a different diabetes topic that provides all the information an educator needs to cover that topic completely, yet allows each educator to speak to patients in his or her own voice at an appropriate pace. Additional features include illustrations and teaching visuals, patient handouts, participant assessments, education records, and a support material section that helps educators manage their programs. This comprehensive curriculum has been updated to meet the National Standards for Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support. Life With Diabetes is the book that diabetes educators and clinicians need to provide complete care to their diabetes patients.
