Diabetes self-management education (DSME) is used to enhance patients' knowledge about diabetes. We seek to target barriers of optimal self-care and work with patients to overcome these barriers and empower them to make healthier decisions at home. As a part of the program, we will maintain communication via fax or phone of patient progress, goal-setting, etc. Most insurance companies cover 10 hours of initial DSME for patients with diagnosed diabetes mellitus and 2 hours of annual follow-up.
