"The Conversation Map session personalizes the patients' management of diabetes because the sessions give them the opportunity to share their story and also learn from other people who are on the same journey for control of their diabetes."

The Conversation Map education tools are GREAT. Patients actually participate and often develop a support system within the class. Patients can learn how diabetes can and will affect real life situations before they have to deal with them and hopefully, can provide information on how to postively work through them. |
