[ Self Evaluation ]

Diabetic patient can be a doctor, pharmacist, dietician, and nurse sometime, and that is not impossible if he/she concern about his diabetes a little more. It is really problem that many diabetic patient do not follow medical professional's advice, but some patient have trouble that he keeps order by doctor too much.
For example, doctor prescribe diabetic agent taking 1 tablet a day in the morning, the patient feel low sugar symptom before meal everyday. If he keep taking pill continually without discussing with doctor, he must have trouble from low sugar level symptoms.
In this case, the patient should report his uncomfortable and adjust his medication dosages or changing other kind of medication.

Diabetic patient have all different pancreatic function so that individual different reaction from same food.
The education will let patient know about this and practice his own result from different food consumption. If the patient report his sugar level everyday and direct the insulin dosage by doctor, how long does it goes ? 10 days only or life time ? it is impossible to do so. The patient has to know about insulin dosage by experience of consumption the food.

For other example , three patient's test result are all same 300mg/dl. How we decide the best way to control those three different patients. One maybe need with diet only, the other maybe need with oral pill, but 3rd person maybe need with insulin therapy inevitablely. We do not know the best way of those 3 patients with one blood test alone. Knowledge, experience, doctor's advice will help to control diabetic patient individually.
