Nurses play an important role in supporting people with diabetes (PWD). Nurses account for half of the global health. As the number of people with diabetes are increasing every day, the role of nurses as an educator becomes increasingly important. By creating nurse educators, a person with diabetes can receive a high quality evidence based knowledge & a good clinical care, which can help to maintain their blood glucose, blood pressure & lipids to the target levels and thus can avoid life threatening preventable complications of diabetes. Educators can burst the myths & misconceptions from the mind of a lay person, which prevails due to unawareness and sharing of non-scientific evidence based data in various social media platforms. Nurses can save PWD’s from unnecessary sufferings & can help for their psycho- social wellbeing. (Recorded June 9, 2023)
