Abstract

Plenary conference: Education and diabetes: Efficient strategy to reach clinical and metabolic homeostasis

Diabetes has been showing a constant growth all over the world and, in Argentina, its prevalence has increased a 51% during the period between 2008 and 2015, especially at the expense of its more frequent clinical form, type 2 diabetes (1). This percentage is worrying but even more so if we pay attention to the development of its chronic complications, consequence of a poor metabolic control in patients (2). Said complications decrease the life quality of the people who suffer them and they meaningfully increase health care costs (3). An effective alternative to overcome this situation is the implementation of diabetes education programs: form healthcare team members to people with diabetes, as postulated by Joslin already in 1925. Their efficacy has clearly been demonstrated through the different studies developed in Argentina. The first of them, referred to the training of medical practitioners implemented by the Argentine Diabetes Society (PROCAMEG), showed a clinical-metabolic improvement in all the indicators evaluated in patients that received treatment from the doctors trained the year it was implemented, and it was associated with a meaningful decrease of hospital admissions.
