Structured diabetes education support
between medical appointments.
Sr. Jodi supports clinicians by helping patients understand their diabetes, use treatment safely, interpret glucose patterns, prepare for follow-up consultations, and build practical self-management routines.
Designed to complement medical care, strengthen patient understanding, and support safer self-management.
Education supports medical care. It does not replace diagnosis, prescribing, specialist review, or urgent care.
Many patients need more time, repetition, and practical translation than a medical appointment can provide.
Diabetes consultations are often clinically dense. Patients may leave with medication changes, monitoring instructions, lifestyle recommendations, technology data, and risk warnings — but still need help turning that into daily behaviour.
Improve treatment understanding
Help patients understand what their treatment is for, how to use it safely, and what questions to bring back to the doctor.
Strengthen self-management routines
Reinforce practical routines around glucose monitoring, insulin use, meals, activity, sick days, and hypoglycaemia safety.
Make follow-up appointments better
Patients can return with clearer questions, better glucose summaries, and more useful information for clinical decision-making.
When to consider referring a patient for diabetes education.
Referrals are useful when a patient needs structured education, practical skills, treatment literacy, or confidence-building support.
New diagnosis education
For patients who are overwhelmed, confused, or unsure what diabetes means for daily life.
Insulin support
For insulin initiation education, injection technique, site rotation, storage, timing, and safety basics.
CGM and glucose data
For patients who need help understanding sensors, trends, alarms, time in range, and report preparation.
Hypoglycaemia concerns
For patients who need education around recognising, preventing, and responding to low glucose episodes.
Foot risk and complications
For patients who need daily foot-check education, warning sign awareness, and referral pathway clarity.
Low confidence or burnout
For patients who understand some of the advice but feel stuck, discouraged, inconsistent, or overwhelmed.
A simple pathway for clinicians and patients.
The referral process should be easy for busy practices, clear for patients, and clinically useful for everyone involved.
A clear role that supports, not replaces, the treating clinician.
