Diabetes Self-Management Education (DSME) is the cornerstone of care for all individuals with diabetes who want to achieve successful health-related outcomes.

The dynamic health care process obligates the diabetes community to periodically review and revise these standards to reflect advances in scientific knowledge and health care.

Review the National Standards to ensure quality and consistency with the current American Diabetes Association Standards of Medical Care. 8. Obtain critiques from secondary sources interested or involved in diabetes care. 9. Perform a final review of the revised …Keywords
