Meeting Quality Standards for Self-Management Education in Pediatric Type 2 Diabetes

Address correspondence to Doreen Radjenovic, PhD, ARNP, CDE, University of North Florida, School of Nursing, 4567 St. John's Bluff Rd. S., Jacksonville, FL 32224

Educational interventions in pediatric practices have typically focused on individuals with type 1 diabetes. Because the prevalence of type 2 diabetes is increasing in pediatric patients, the process of diabetes self-management education (DSME) must be expanded to incorporate appropriate materials and methods for youth with type 2 diabetes. To meet quality education standards in a pediatric program, DSME should be individualized, be provided by a multidisciplinary team, involve family members, and strategize behavior change with opportunities for periodic reinforcement. Content areas for a comprehensive DSME program for youth with type 2 diabetes are outlined, and an annotated bibliography of available materials is provided.
