Observance in diabetes: from therapeutic education to therapeutic alliance.
The aim of this paper is to understand why non-observance is so frequent in diabetic patients, to delineate some of its mechanisms, which should make it possible to propose approaches to prevent non-observance. This will lead us to clarify the relationship between therapeutic education and observance, and to justify on a theoretical basis the concept of therapeutic alliance.
