title: Diabetes initiatives: hospital education.
abstract: This article is the first of two which concentrate on training initiatives in diabetes care for nurses. The articles focus on two initiatives--one hospital-based, the other for community nurses--which aim to improve nurses' knowledge and skills in relation to this important area of practice. The first article describes a programme introduced into a major hospital to improve and develop staff skills in measuring patients' blood glucose levels.
