Improving self-management of type 1 and type 2 diabetes

Diabetes is an increasingly common life-long condition, which has significant physical, psychological and behavioural implications for individuals.

A collaborative approach to care, between healthcare professionals and patients, is essential to promote self-management skills and knowledge to help patients engage in shared decision making and manage any difficulties associated with a diagnosis of diabetes.
