Abstract: There is sufficient evidence to support the positive effectiveness of nutritional diabetes education with collaborative information, lifestyle, and skills teaching interventions among patients with diabetes improve patients’ nutritional and clinical status, effectiveness of treatment, quality of life and survival. Nevertheless, it is not just talk about nutrients; the nutritional diabetes education is more complex. A patient who receives the information turns it into knowledge through mental processes and is in control of what they learn and what they do with the information.
