Diabetes mellitus is a lifelong condition. It represents a major cause of morbidity and mortality, often brought about by diabetic microvascular (retinopathy, nephropathy and neuropathy) and macrovascular (peripheral vascular disease, cardiovascular disease and stroke) complications. Although incurable, it is nevertheless possible for the person with diabetes to lead a normal life by adhering to a self-care management regimen. However, this complex, lifelong activity cannot be achieved in isolation. The role of the nurse, particularly as an educator and facilitator of learning, is therefore critical. This article aims to increase nurses' knowledge regarding the importance of ongoing education for the person with diabetes in order to minimize the development of microvascular and macrovascular complications. It also emphasizes the importance of including the individual in any decision-making process to ensure that empowerment is visible.
糖尿病是一种终身疾病。它是发病和死亡的主要原因，通常由糖尿病微血管并发症（视网膜病变、肾病和神经病变）和大血管并发症（外周血管疾病、心血管疾病和中风）引起。尽管无法治愈，但糖尿病患者通过坚持自我护理管理方案仍有可能过上正常生活。然而，这种复杂的终身活动无法孤立完成。因此，护士的角色，尤其是作为教育者和学习促进者的角色至关重要。本文旨在增加护士对糖尿病患者持续教育重要性的认识，以尽量减少微血管和大血管并发症的发生。它还强调了让患者参与任何决策过程以确保赋权得以体现的重要性。
