Abstract
Professionals responsible for the care of persons with diabetes mellitus are ever more convinced that patients need a strong, pragmatic knowledge about the disease to survive and thrive. Considerable expertise is being directed toward defining exactly what should be taught and how achievement should be measured and rewarded. This paper briefly reviews the accomplishments computers have made to this end, and describes a new soft ware program using dBASE III Plus that is derived from the author's previous clinical experience.Keywords
