Abstract

Primary care providers deliver more outpatient diabetes management than any other group of health care professionals. However, primary care providers are faced with several challenges in providing diabetes education. Time restraints, high patient volumes, and other medical issues that must be addressed are just some of the many factors that may impede effective diabetes education. Solutions to these issues include involving the entire outpatient office staff in the diabetes management of the patient; focusing on issues of most concern to the patient; providing basic, “survival” skill education; and referring, when appropriate, to other specialists, including endocrinologists and diabetes educators.
