[How can compliance be ameliorated in diabetic patients?].
The compliance of diabetic patients is very poor. In addition to the knowledge of the various stages of acceptance of the disease as described by A. Lacroix in this journal, it is necessary to learn more about the patient's personality. In this article, four different personalities are proposed using the test "Persona" (Polymanagement SA, Geneva) in order to have the correct choice of therapy, corresponding to the personality. We hope that in the long term, by using this test, therapeutic compliance for the diabetic patients will be improved.
