How to use these resources

Resources are most useful when they support a focused conversation.

They are not meant to replace professional care. They are there to help patients prepare, remember key questions, and bring better information to education sessions and medical appointments.

1

Choose one relevant tool

Start with the resource that fits your current need: new diagnosis, glucose data, insulin, foot care, pregnancy, or family support.

2

Complete it before the session

Add your current medication list, glucose information, recent results, symptoms, questions, and practical concerns.

3

Bring it to your appointment

Use the completed resource to guide your diabetes education session or discussion with your healthcare team.

Safety boundaries

These resources support education. They do not replace urgent care.

If symptoms are serious, sudden, or concerning, contact a healthcare professional or emergency service.

Seek urgent medical care for severe low glucose, confusion, fainting, suspected diabetic ketoacidosis, repeated vomiting, severe dehydration, chest pain, stroke symptoms, severe shortness of breath, serious foot wounds, spreading redness, swelling, warmth, discharge, fever, blackened skin, sudden severe pain, or sudden severe illness.
Plain English: If something feels medically urgent, do not wait for a diabetes education session, a website response, or a downloadable resource. Get medical help.
