Diabetes educating nurses favor patients better comply with their medication

Diabetes educating nurses favor patients to have more personalized care and have greater adherence to treatment, according to Pilar García Durruti, which directs the Diabetes Unit at the HM Montepríncipe University Hospital in Madrid.

"They offer invaluable support for patients at the beginning of the diagnosis or when circumstances arise such as a pregnancy or the treatment of another disease," said this expert, who directs the only specific unit in the approach of diabetes of Madrid private health.

In it they work in a coordinated way endocrinologists, nephrologists, cardiologists, ophthalmologists, vascular surgeons, specialists in internal medicine and nurses specialized in diabetes and education.

They also have an online educational course and workshops have been organized for people with type 2 diabetes that have had great acceptance and excellent results.And as innovations, in addition to therapeutic and monitoring education programs, technology has been incorporated for better patient care.

Such is the case of non -face -to -face consultations, online formation, continuous glucose monitoring, or HBA1c realization in capillary blood with immediate result."We are the center of the Community of Madrid that most 'flash' monitoring of glucose is putting, which makes us the most experience we have acquired in its use and its interpretation," says the specialist.

That well those who have or have had educators! Some alone we had to manage.

Both a doctor and nurse or auxiliary if it is diabetic@ is the best thing that can happen.

They always talk about nurses, will there be no nurses?:(

We are as Anaisabel, our "educator" only saw her on the day of the debut and the day of discharge to leave us all the junk that thereafter we were going to accompany us to all the places and as it was Friday at noon she was already leaving..... We learned thanks to a very very plant nurse.The following visits were going, do you need something? It gave us lancets and needles and home, now we collect it in the health center so when we go to endo we don't even stop.OUR ECUDADOR@s You have been you.

It happened otherwise, I was doing quite well to control the disease almost self -taught.They graphically explained all the problems that diabetes can cause.

And although everything that they explained more or less knew, that all the problems show you and above all see it everything (feet, shattered eyes, hundreds of diseases and senses) and on top with stupid and infantilized language, I imagine that in case there wereSome child (who had not) took such depression that I was going from everything and without controlling me just, total so that "I was going to die between terrible sufferings,"

We had the "luck" that the educator retired a few days after Iago's debut, the consequence was an accelerated learning, since she left.Instead there was another nurse who does what he can but who lacks a lot of travel, a lot ... Sometimes I think he learns with us, with patients.Luckily the endo serves us every three months and helps us a lot and the pediatrician does not put anything to anything, he prescribes what we need ...
That if your help has been invaluable, I think that with you it is who else I learn from day to day, and I transmit everything to Iago, so that we can learn more and more and correct our mistakes.
Thank you very much to everyone: x
