Diabetes self-management education (DSME) has been shown to improve health outcomes. Yet, relatively little is known about how DSME has its effects. Literature reviewed from the past 3 years indicates that if DSME is to become more effective interventions need to be theory-based, to increase patient involvement in their care, and to encompass a broader array of evidenced-based outcomes. Outcomes reviewed go beyond knowledge and glycemic control to include prevention of diabetes, quality of life, and reduction of cardiovascular risk. The ability of practitioners and health care systems to implement, adopt, and maintain patient-centered interventions over time is discussed. By linking theory to behavior, and broadening the outcomes examined, advances can continue to be made in closing the gap between the scientific base for the treatment of diabetes, and the care and outcomes patients experience. Further research on patient-centered approaches that promote self-management is seen as critical in closing this gap.
