Abstract

Diabetes is a prevalent disease in the Middle East (ME) and constitutes a true healthcare problem. Within the ME, Lebanon comes in the 5th place, with a prevalence for Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) reaching 18.9%. According to “HAS”, Patient Therapeutic Education (PTE) is a complimentary and inseparable element which prevents further complications. ADA recommends introducing new technics for communication to improve patient knowledge and self-management. Based on these recommendations, this project aims to create new tools and methods for the PTE. These tools enhance the interactivity and provide clear and precise information. With this in mind, we created 14 tools corresponding to the “HAS” recommendations that our educator uses to complete the educative objectives of our patients. These tools have been validated by our expert panel of multidisciplinary team and 70 patients. The results were satisfactory for the patients and the team, with significant drop in HbA1C.
