Diabetic patients receive standard-of-care treatment when they receive their diagnosis. This includes visiting their primary care doctors and learning about the disease and why and how they need to care for themselves by attending formal diabetes education provided by certified diabetes educators and nutritionists. If a patient’s diabetes does not improve, they are referred to a specialist. However, a diabetes specialist at Baylor College of Medicine learned over time that many of his patients often did not understand basic concepts of diabetes, despite receiving usual care, so he developed an educational approach known as Analogy-Based Comprehensive Diabetes Education (ABCDE) using easy to understand language. The findings from this retrospective study are published in Healthcare.
