Healthcare Provider Discussion Guide

Having diabetes, you know it's important to visit your healthcare provider regularly to monitor your diabetes and determine any necessary changes to your treatment plan. It's also an excellent time for you to discuss any questions or concerns you may have. As we know, however, time with your healthcare provider is limited, so it's important to know what you would like to discuss ahead of time to make the most of your appointment.

This guide is designed to help you do just that. It provides a series of questions that can help facilitate an informative discussion with your healthcare provider about the role of insulin in your diabetes management plan.

Topics include:

  • Why insulin might be right for you
  • Which method for taking insulin might be right for you
  • Concerns you may have about insulin interacting with other medications

Simply check off the questions that are important to you and take it with you to your next appointment. It also includes a column where you can write down any additional questions you may have.

How to apply

This program was very inspirational. I have type 2 and always feared insulin. The A1C Champion helped me feel more comfortable about insulin and I will ask my healthcare provider if insulin could be right for me.
