Gabric Diabetes School
Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support (DSME/S) is critical for people with diabetes to successfully self-manage their disease; however, its utilization is too low. In response to this, the GABRIC Diabetes Education Association has been developed as a school for diabetics, which has a comprehensive DSME/S program for people with diabetes with distinct courses for different target groups, such as people with type 1, type 2, prediabetes or expected mothers with gestational diabetes.
In addition, GABRIC has developed a database registry with more than 100,000 members throughout the country, of whom 95% are diabetic with a proportion of 82% Type 2 diabetes and 13% Type 1 diabetes. The success of the GABRIC school model results is yet to be investigated through study trials and offers a fruitful line of research.
