title: Teaching strategies that promote adherence.
abstract: Teaching strategies that promote adherence to the diabetes regimen are based on a setting of priorities that differentiates Level One (essential) knowledge from Level Two (important) and Level Three (desirable) knowledge when teaching is planned. The nursing process is used to provide for effective assessment of the learner, diagnosis of education requirements, mutual goal-setting between patient and nurse, individualized planning and instruction, and evaluation both during the process and afterward by follow-up contact with the patient.
