ABCD and Diabetes UK - Specialist diabetes services: Roles and responsibilities of DSNs 2009 (Feb 2009)

 

Introduction

The role of the diabetes specialist nurse (DSN) was first introduced over 60 years ago to educate and support people living with diabetes and their families at all stages of their lives. The role became more common in the 1980s with the introduction of self-monitoring of blood glucose and changes in insulin medications, and in 2007 there were 1,278 DSNs working in the UK.
