Issues in diabetes education are far-reaching. Professional preparation along with management issues and dilemmas are discussed in this article; they often precede the teaching/learning experience. In all instances, the diabetes educator must be a catalyst who continuously replenishes knowledge to those with diabetes. The gratification of facilitating independent living is a powerful motivation for those in this profession.
