When to Get Diabetes Education
If you have diabetes, you should follow your meal plan, take your medications as prescribed, exercise and take care of your teeth and feet. Regular tests and check-ups are also recommended to help you maintain your health and prevent complications.
The four critical times to receive or modify diabetes self-management education and support are:
 |
At diagnosis. |
 |
Every year, for review. |
 |
When your physical or emotional condition changes. |
 |
During transitions in care such as a new living situation or hospitalization. |
