Hopefully you’ve already noticed that the social media outlets managed by Home Care Delivered (including our Facebook and Twitter feeds) have been featuring diabetes information every day this month, including statistics on the disease, data that shows how to recognize symptoms, and information about how to manage the disease better. Be sure to follow our social media so you don’t miss any of the great information we are sharing there.

As the number of people with diabetes continues to rise throughout the world, nurses, as well as other professionals in the healthcare industry, including physician assistants and home health aides, will become even more essential in helping people diagnose the condition and develop the habits that will allow them to live well with diabetes. Even today, nurses are often the most common health professional that a person with diabetes interacts with on a regular basis. Nurses answer questions and assess symptoms, they get to know the patient so they can judge when something seems abnormal, and they are the first line of defense when treatment doesn’t seem to be going well.

In fact, both in the United States and throughout the world, nurses play a vital and key role in:

• Diagnosing diabetes early to ensure prompt treatment.
• Providing self-management training and psychological support for people with diabetes to help prevent complications.
• Tackling the risk factors for type 2 diabetes to help prevent the condition even before it begins.
