Özet

The number of patients with diabetes mellitus has been gradually increasing worldwide, and has become a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. Although a complete cure is not available, medical therapy along with life style changes such as physical activity, healthy nutrition, smoking cessation seems efficient to delay the development of diabetes related complications. Patient education has an an important roles in the adherence to treatments, in achieving life styles changes and in taking responsibility of self-care. Unlike the traditional medical model (physician,-disease,-levels of glucose centered model which blame non-aclherance of Patient by for failure etc.), models based on a participatory approach are strengthening the quality standards in care of diabetes in twenty first century. The Five Minute Survival Kit which includes nine different modules for the patient is an instrument to professional in his daily encounter.
