Diabetes education and self-management

Use the following resources and tools to improve diabetes education and self-management for people with diabetes.

On average, people with diabetes spend three hours a year with a healthcare professional. For the remaining 8,757 hours they manage their diabetes themselves. Diabetes self-management education helps people to stay healthy, live well and avoid expensive and life threatening complications.
