Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Training diabetics in self-management and problem-solving skills has been shown to be effective in improving compliance with diabetic treatment regimens. This includes teaching patients how to monitor their blood glucose levels, how to adjust their diet and medication accordingly, and how to problem-solve when faced with challenges to their treatment regimen. Restricting the number of persons in the patients' social support network or following strict stress management and relaxation training programs have not been consistently shown to improve compliance with diabetic treatment regimens. While training diabetics to recognize when their blood glucose level needs to be modified can be helpful, it is only one component of self-management and problem-solving skills training.
