Any successful treatment of type-I diabetic patients has to be based upon a detailed education of the diabetic patient in order to enable him to selfmanage his disease as much as possible. The goals of diabetes-therapy (i.e. near-normalization of glycaemia in order to prevent diabetic microangiopathy at as high a quality of life as possible) can only be achieved by actively involving the patient in his/her therapy. Thus patient education becomes the cornerstone of modern diabetes-care. The evaluation of diabetes-education has--eventually--be based upon an assessment of the quality of metabolic control. A number of studies have proven that effective diabetes-education programmes can substantially improve long-term metabolic control and the incidence of acute complications in type I diabetic patients. At present, it appears that the most efficient way to improve the overall quality of diabetes-care is to improve diabetes-education delivered to the patients.
任何针对I型糖尿病患者的成功治疗都必须基于对糖尿病患者的详细教育，以便使其能够尽可能地自我管理疾病。糖尿病治疗的目标（即血糖接近正常化，以尽可能高的生活质量预防糖尿病微血管病变）只有通过让患者积极参与其治疗才能实现。因此，患者教育成为现代糖尿病护理的基石。糖尿病教育的评估最终必须基于对代谢控制质量的评估。多项研究证明，有效的糖尿病教育计划可以显著改善I型糖尿病患者的长期代谢控制和急性并发症的发生率。目前，提高糖尿病护理整体质量的最有效方法似乎是改善对患者的糖尿病教育。
