COVID: The missing trigger to start a remote FIT Course
Marcelo Dos Santos Mamed & G Gastaldi
| Résumé |
Type 1 diabetes management is a highly demanding task that largely
falls on people with diabetes, their family, and their peers.
Diabetes self-management education and support aim at increasing
knowledge, skills, and confidence to take appropriate diabetes
management decisions. The current evidence shows that efficient
diabetes self-management relies on person-centered interventions
and a team of pluri-disciplinary educators with expertise in
diabetes care and education. The irruption of the COVID-19 pandemic
has increased diabetes burden and the need to offer remote diabetes
self-management education services. The present article offers a
perspective about expectations and quality issues related to the
implementation of a remote version of the FIT course, a validated
structured diabetes management educational program. |
