The American Diabetes Association, Association of Diabetes Care and Education Specialists and Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics define diabetes self-management education as the process of facilitating knowledge, skills and ability necessary for diabetes self-care, which incorporates the person’s own needs, goals and life experiences and guided by evidence-based practices to improve their own health outcomes. 1 This definition positions diabetes self-management education as key to helping people with diabetes to navigate their daily decision-making and activities to support better health outcomes. Most importantly, it also aligns diabetes self-management education with an emerging health promotion concept, health literacy.

Abstract:

Since diabetes self-management primarily involves health behaviour changes, knowledge and skills for self-management are fundamental for people living with diabetes. Diabetes self-management education aims to promote relevant changes and improve knowledge and skills to support diabetes self-care. The American Diabetes Association, Association of Diabetes Care and Education Specialists and Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics define diabetes self-management education as the process of facilitating knowledge, skills and ability necessary for diabetes self-care, which incorporates the person’s own needs, goals and life experiences and guided by evidence-based practices to improve their own health outcomes. 1 This definition positions diabetes self-management education as key to helping people with diabetes to navigate their daily decision-making and activities to support better health outcomes. Most importantly, it also aligns diabetes self-management education with an emerging health promotion concept, health literacy.
