Since diabetes is a chronic complication affecting the diabetic patient at various levels, the counseling should focus on the nature of the disease, lifestyle modifications, medications, and acute and chronic complications.
The diabetic patients should be explained that the disease is lifelong, progressive and needs necessary modifications in the lifestyle pattern. They should also stress upon the importance of pharmacotherapy, especially the need for strict compliance with the prescribed medication. The patients should be also explained that the disease may affect the quality of life if not well controlled.
