Assessing and managing diabetes
DCNSs assess people with diabetes to determine their individual needs. They develop and implement care plans that include medication management, nutrition counseling, and lifestyle changes. DCNSs also monitor people with diabetes to ensure that their condition is under control.
Providing education and support
DCNSs provide education and support to people with diabetes and their families. They teach them about diabetes, how to manage it, and how to prevent complications. DCNSs also provide emotional support and counseling to help people with diabetes cope with the challenges of living with a chronic condition.
