The importance of self-management and education is now generally known and accepted in the diabetes community. Despite this, the number of people with diabetes who receive diabetes education and psychosocial services continues to be disappointing. While clinical advances are being adopted, referrals to diabetes education remain low, and resources for behavioural support are scarce. This calls for a need to inform and remind care providers and healthcare decision-makers of the efforts of all those who built the foundation for comprehensive diabetes care, which continues to inform practice and serve as a backdrop for research to address today's challenges.
自我管理和教育的重要性如今在糖尿病领域已广为人知并被接受。尽管如此，接受糖尿病教育和心理社会服务的糖尿病患者数量仍然令人失望。虽然临床进展正在被采用，但转介接受糖尿病教育的比例仍然很低，而且行为支持的资源也很稀缺。这就需要告知并提醒护理人员和医疗保健决策者，所有为全面糖尿病护理奠定基础的人的努力，这些努力继续为实践提供指导，并为应对当今挑战的研究提供背景。
