Proper management of the diabetic patient and effective communication with other health care providers requires that the optometrist have a sound working knowledge of the accepted standards of total diabetic care. Treatment of type 1 diabetes usually requires insulin and a proper diet. Type 2 diabetes often will respond to a rigid diet alone, but may require insulin or oral antidiabetic medications. Finally, patient education is the backbone of all treatment and must be reinforced by all health care providers at each office visit.
对糖尿病患者进行妥善管理并与其他医疗服务提供者进行有效沟通，要求验光师具备全面糖尿病护理公认标准的扎实实用知识。1型糖尿病的治疗通常需要胰岛素和合理饮食。2型糖尿病往往仅通过严格饮食即可见效，但可能需要胰岛素或口服抗糖尿病药物。最后，患者教育是所有治疗的基础，每次门诊时所有医疗服务提供者都必须强化这一点。
