The ADA recommends that all individuals diagnosed with diabetes participate in DSME (Hale et al., 2010). Table 2 offers suggestions for areas of teaching for individuals living with diabetes. Specifically, clinicians can discuss the importance of blood glucose control, yearly eye exams, daily foot exams, a heart-healthy diet, and consistent physical exercise. Self-monitoring is important for regulation of blood glucose control. Clinicians should assess availability of testing supplies and work with patients to establish a testing plan that works with the patient's resources. Patients should be instructed to follow the recommended blood glucose testing plan. Further, education about checking feet daily and contacting the healthcare provider promptly about treatment of blisters, ingrown toenails, ulcers, and wounds is essential. Incorporating basic information about signs and symptoms of peripheral neuropathy and safety measures, such as wearing properly fitting, comfortable shoes, avoiding walking barefoot, and having someone check the temperature of bath water if neuropathy is present, is also valuable. Clinicians should discuss nutrition with patients at each visit. Clinicians can encourage patients to keep a log of foods eaten and blood glucose values to assess for correlations. This correlation is the basis for patient-assisted problem solving in modifying the self-management plan. Consistent exercise should be encouraged. Clinicians can recommend appropriate exercise based on individual patients' resources and abilities.
