Working Together to Manage Diabetes
Working
Together to Manage Diabetes: A Guide for Pharmacists, Podiatrists,
Optometrists, and Dental Professionals has been revised to include
newer statistics and a new section on primary diabetes prevention. This
interdisciplinary primer focuses on diabetes-related conditions
affecting the foot, eye and mouth as well as issues related to drug
therapy management. The primer promotes a team approach to comprehensive
diabetes care and provides simple care recommendations to providers on
making cross-disciplinary treatment referral as well as reinforcing
diabetes self care. A new section outlines the results of the Diabetes
Prevention Program study and the role pharmacy, podiatry, optometry and
dental professionals can play in preventing diabetes in those at risk.
The Working
Together to Manage Diabetes patient education poster has also been
revised to include more direct “I will” action statements to encourage
patients to team up with their health care providers. This interdisciplinary
color poster can be used by health professional in exam or waiting rooms to
help educate patients on specific steps they can take in collaboration with
their pharmacists and eye, foot, and dental care professionals to control
diabetes. The poster is available in English and in Spanish.
