Like tailoring a wardrobe

to fit the wearer,

your DSMES service should strive to

create a custom fit for

your participants.

Help participants identify their needs

through a thorough needs assessment.

Then, with your DSMES team,

tailor a solution that is as individual

as your participants are.

An assessment must include:

•Disease process,

•Nutrition management,

•Physical activity,

•Monitoring,

•Acute and chronic complications,

•Pertinent clinical history,

•Cognitive ability,

•Diabetes distress and support systems, and

•Behavioral modification ability.

Create the best fit for your participants

with individualized DSMES plans

based on participant assessment

and evaluation.
