New resources are available free for you to download to help both patients and prescribers deal with diabetes challenges.
For people with diabetes, AADE has a new tip sheet called Healthy for the Holidays that can help them deal with the abundance of food and to-dos, as well as the lack of time for being active.
For prescribers, Successful Diabetes Management Should Address Cultural Differences offers five tips for doctors, nurse practitioners and physician assistants working with diabetes to consider as they make recommendations for diabetes self-care.
AADE hopes you will use these materials with your patients, referral network and local healthcare facility to raise awareness of the importance of diabetes educators. These materials are part of AADE’s national professional and public awareness campaign.
