DAWN2: Communication vital during diabetes office visits

[Northerner]

The second Diabetes Attitudes Wishes and Needs Study demonstrates a need for improved diabetes education and support from those who live with the disease, their care givers and health care providers, a group of panelists said here.

?We chose to focus on three specific areas. Those areas are the emotional and psychosocial impact of diabetes, the family with diabetes and the patient/health care practitioner dialogue and any gaps in communication that there might be,? Melissa Magwire, RN, CDE, from Shawnee Mission, Kan., said during a panel discussion at the American Association of Diabetes Educators Annual Meeting and Exhibition.

Err, communication with your HCPs is one of the first questions on the PAID questionnaire ! (That's the one that measures how you are doing with your D psychologically speaking)

So yes, we most certainly did!
