  • Instruction in self-injection of insulin
  • Comprehensive patient assessment
  • Instruction in disease process
  • Blood glucose monitoring and glucometer instruction
  • ADA diet instruction and counseling
  • Medication management and education
  • Skin care and personal care instruction
  • Diabetic foot care
  • Individual home exercise programs
  • Prevention of disease-related complications
