A diabetes educator promotes independence for you, helping you learn to monitor your diabetes or problem-solve
to achieve good blood sugar control and to recognize when you need to report changing conditions to the doctor.
A diabetes educator can provide support by encouraging you to talk about your concerns or fears about diabetes.
A diabetes educator can reassure you that your feelings are normal. If you feel your diabetes is out of control,
a diabetes educator can help you learn the things you can control and offer ways for you to cope with the things
you cannot.
