COVID-19 pandemic has challenged the physician-centered approach of diabetes care in India that is primarily based on routine clinic visits. We aim to review the various aspects of patient-centered care via diabetes self-management education based on available literature.
This is a narrative review using Pubmed, EMBASE and Google Scholar search till March 29, 2020. Search terms were "COVID-19", "diabetes self-care", "diabetes self-management education", "DSME", "diabetes self-management in India", "diabetes self-care in India" and "DSME in India".
We have discussed an educational plan on diabetes self-management that can be adopted for people with diabetes mellitus in our country amid the ongoing pandemic. We have also identified the barriers to diabetes self-management in the current scenario and suggested possible solutions to overcome those.
We have reemphasized the need for a simultaneous patient-centered approach in routine diabetes care that has to be coordinated by a multidisciplinary team amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
新冠疫情对印度以医生为中心的糖尿病护理模式提出了挑战，该模式主要基于常规门诊就诊。我们旨在根据现有文献，通过糖尿病自我管理教育来审视以患者为中心的护理的各个方面。
这是一项叙述性综述，利用PubMed、EMBASE和谷歌学术进行检索，截至2020年3月29日。检索词为“COVID-19”“糖尿病自我护理”“糖尿病自我管理教育”“DSME”“印度的糖尿病自我管理”“印度的糖尿病自我护理”以及“印度的DSME”。
我们讨论了一项糖尿病自我管理教育计划，在当前疫情期间可用于我国糖尿病患者。我们还确定了当前情况下糖尿病自我管理的障碍，并提出了克服这些障碍的可能解决方案。
我们再次强调，在当前新冠疫情期间，常规糖尿病护理需要同时采用以患者为中心的方法，且必须由多学科团队进行协调。
