Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support

Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support (DSMES) is a program designed to help individuals with diabetes understand their condition and learn how to manage it effectively. It provides information on healthy eating, physical activity, blood sugar monitoring, medication use, and coping strategies. The goal is to empower people to make informed decisions, maintain good blood sugar control, prevent complications, and improve their overall quality of life. DSMES involves ongoing guidance from healthcare professionals and tailored plans to support each person's needs and goals.
