Abstract :

As the mindset of the patient with diabetes evolves, so too must the approach of the doctor, educator, and caregiver, if they want to achieve and maintain high levels of effectiveness in their patient�??s treatment outcomes, and have a positive impact on the population that has diabetes. This keynote presentation will give real world examples and immediately actionable takeaways focusing on the patient with diabetes in these areas: The role of peer support, the role of community, the power of language, the team building mindset, the goals of the patient with diabetes, and the powerful role of the doctor. There are many factors that go into the diagnosis of a patient with diabetes such as age at diagnosis, family support, type of diabetes, and current treatment options. This presentation provides a framework, the 6 Pillars of Total Health, to make it simpler for the caregiver to make recommendations on improvement beyond the doctor�??s office, as well as give researchers and educators a holistic lens to view the influence of their work and teachings.
