An invitational counseling approach to diabetes management.
It is important for healthcare professionals to be nonjudgmental and provide a supportive, caring environment both personally and professionally when working with patients with diabetes. The challenge is to invite patients to be successful in managing their diabetes by building helping relationships based on the invitational counseling model. A positive, empathetic, and intentionally inviting healthcare team may be one of the keys to successful management of diabetes.
