Diabetes Dialogue Map
Diabetes Dialogue Map
The original diabetes dialogue map, developed at Kenichi Yamada Internal Medicine Clinic is an educational tool designed to inspire diabetes patients attending the diabetes education classes at the clinic.
While it is crucial that the patient first needs to recognize various issues he needs to address in order for him to achieve diabetes self-management, the diabetes dialogue map shows nine self-awareness pointers along a gently winding path toward a final goal and works as a visual aid for recognizing the patient’s issues.
There is a line of other tools such as a laminated map used as a place-mat during a working lunch in the diabetes classes and a textbook with detailed instructions in correspondence to each of the nine essential self-awareness pointers so as to encourage the patient to work independently.
An English version and a French version of the diabetes dialogue map were created respectively in 2006 and 2010.
