Patient education is an essential component of diabetes treatment and can help prevent unnecessary hospital admissions and some of the acute and chronic complications of diabetes. With the support of a healthcare team and an increased knowledge and awareness of the disease, patients can assume a major part of the responsibility for their diabetes management.
