Disease Management and Educational Intervention Outcomes in High-Risk Diabetics

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Diabetes Mellitus Self Management Education, Hyperglycemic Control, High Risk Diabetes

In brief

Social, medical and economic burdens of diabetes care result from microvascular, macrovascular and neurological complications. Sustained reduction in hyperglycemia can reduce the incidence of these complications by as much as 50 percent. Studies have demonstrated improved glycemic control with nurse case-management or educational care models. However, none have controlled for their independent contributions, intervened with advanced practice nurses (APN), or targeted highest risk individuals.
