Abstract

The Diabetes Educator Training Module (DETM), which was developed in 2011, contained more than 900 slides. The purpose of the DETM is to help Korean diabetes educators develop programs for diabetic patients and health professionals. In this paper, we present information regarding the history, the principles of development, the contents, and the use of the DETM program. We hope that the DETM will be a useful tool for helping diabetic patients to understand their disease and to improve their glycemic control and treatment adherence.
