Professional Education News
2. Consider scheduling diabetes-only visits at least annually,
especially for patients with multiple chronic conditions.
Focus on diabetes-related issues such as A1C goal
attainment, medication compliance, diabetes distress, and
diabetes-related health maintenance.
3. Develop a care and treatment
plan with each patient that
includes a personalized A1C
target and time frame and takes
his or her needs, concerns, and
wishes into account. Review and
update the plan it regularly.
4. Refer all patients for diabetes
self-management education and
support (DSMES). Find ADArecognized education programs
near you, as well as telehealth
options, at diabetes.org/
FindAProgram. Don't forget to
ask about audio-only DSMES
services.

5. Arrange more frequent office visits based on A1C and recent
treatment change. Leverage telehealth to make this plan
easier on patients. For example, schedule a visit every 6-8
weeks for those whose A1C is ≥9%, every 2-3 months for
those whose A1C is 7-8.9%, and every 3-6 months for those
whose A1C is <7% or at their personal target.

I believe this is an extremely
important topic and often the root
of the problems with diabetes
management. I applaud you for
having such a frank discussion on
the causes of therapeutic inertia.

Association Offers DSMS Toolkit and Plan
The American Diabetes Association has developed "Diabetes Self-Management Support: A Toolkit for
Providers and Educators," and a plan for individualizing diabetes support for people with diabetes.
The Diabetes Self-Management Support (DSMS) toolkit provides information and guidance to help
diabetes care providers and educators meet the National Standards for Diabetes Self-Management
Education and Support, specifically Standard 8: Ongoing Support.
The DSMS plan provides a format through which diabetes care providers and educators can create
personalized plans for participants and identify local resources and activities that may benefit them as
part of ongoing diabetes support.
