Dr Alya Al Mazrouei, Acting Executive Director of ICLDC, says: “We are very excited to offer the ICLDC Structured Education Programme again, which has been updated this time to cover circumstances related to COVID-19. The programme will lay a solid foundation for better diabetes care and ultimately improve our patients’ quality of life. The programme will equip patients with the right tools and information to manage their condition confidently and responsibly and avoid any debilitating complications.”
She added that the programme serves an important role in patients’ treatment plans. “The key to success when it comes to managing type 1 diabetes is patient education. Type 1 diabetes is a complex condition that requires constant planning and decision-making. Patient education empowers the individual who has to live with this condition 24 hours a day, 365 days a year,” she explains.
