Educación terapéutica sobre diabetes en la infancia

An educational programme has to be drawn up which must contemplate multiple aspects and which requires a structured planning in order to prevent the learning process from being complex. Furthermore, having the appropriate educational material significantly contributes to helping his/her new situation to adapt to everyday family life. It is essential to progressively convey these aspects which are personalized according to the patient and his/her family's learning capacity. Transmitting an excess of teaching contents could hinder the learning of the most relevant concepts. Therefore, we could say that it is not necessary for the patients to know everything about their disease, but only that which is useful for their self-care, all in all, to achieve a proper metabolic control.
