Diabetes SMART is a free interactive online education platform available at www.diabeteseducation.ie developed by Diabetes Ireland with support from Novo Nordisk. This free interactive programme has been updated to meet increasing demand from people with Type 2 diabetes who want to learn more about their condition and how to manage it effectively.
Due to the significant burden placed on GP’s and the health care system over the last two years because of the Covid 19 pandemic, many people with Type 2 diabetes have not had regular review appointments with their GP or their diabetes team. Diabetes Smart is a valuable resource that will give those especially diagnosed within the last 2 years the opportunity to educate themselves about their condition and how to manage it effectively and will also act as a refresher programme for the thousands of people who are living with Type 2 diabetes for longer. It is also a good education tool for GP’s and health professionals to promote to their patients.
