Old Model vs New Model: Being put on Insulin
Old Model
If you don’t start to control your blood glucose, I am going to have to put you on insulin and you will have to take shots. Your diabetes is not getting any better.
New Empowering Model
You have been working to control your blood glucose, but often a patient will need some assistance form insulin. Research shows that starting someone on insulin sooner than later, assists them in getting better control. What about insulin concerns you?

o Core Functionso Diabetes Action Nowo World Diabetes day
Summary

o Self-management techniques can delay or prevent complications
o Empowering the and becoming a partner with them, will help provide positive results of control
o Tools were given to assist the provider in understanding diabetes and thus assisting their patients
