Abstract

Diabetes education plays an important role in diabetes management. At present, the forms of diabetes education are various, and the contents are rich in china, while there is much room for exploration. However, some other countries have developed definite standards for diabetes education. The long-term compliance of patients after receiving diabetes education needs to be improved. Diabetes education with patient-centered group psychotherapy might help patients get rid of fear and worry about diabetes by interaction between members, and improve lifestyle and compliance.
