In this program, a likeable coach invites patients to play an active role in the diabetes management team. He explains that diabetes is manageable and that by working with the healthcare team people with diabetes can develop a personal plan to successfully manage their diabetes for a lifetime. Perfect for the introduction to diabetes education classes, it covers the basics of the game plan: eat right, exercise, take medications, monitor blood glucose, and keep healthcare appointments.
