Chapters & learning objectives
1. Occupational Therapist’s Role in Diabetes Management and Eye Conditions Associated with Diabetes
Diabetes management is a role in which OT naturally fits. We see clients in their natural environment and can make meaningful changes to help them cope with diabetes.
2. Healthy Eating, Medication, and Monitoring
OTs often focus on meal preparation and helping our patients to live healthy lives. Training patients with diabetes involves some special training for the generalist OT.
3. Adaptive Ways of Managing Diabetes
As OTs, we are constantly adapting activities for our patients. Diabetes management is no different. This portion will cover ways to adapt treatment for patients with diabetic problems.
