Making Everything Right - Gestational Diabetes Education Materials


Your gestational diabetes (GDM) patient needs special care. That’s why we created the Making Everything Right™ GDM education program. Comprehensive, complete and ready to use, it is designed to help your patient manage her GDM and encourage compliance. To enhance GDM instruction, we have created an Instructor Guide and a 36 page, sixth grade reading level Patient Book. Both cover all the areas your patient will need to know. Within the book there are numerous places for you and your patient to fill-in pertinent goals. The Instructor Guide incorporates a variety of teaching techniques for effective patient instruction, and includes Referral, Assessment, History & Follow-Up forms for concise, convenient record keeping.
