Tri-hopsital diabetes education centre: a cost effective, cooperative venture.

Six years ago, three teaching hospitals in Canada's fastest growing metropolitan area decided to pool their resources, share facilities and staff to develop a patient education program for the diabetic and his family that would emphasize preventive aspects of medicine and ambulatory care. The venture has paid off handsomely in terms of well informed, highly motivated patients and more effective utilization of costly hospital facilities.

Insulin goes metric: a time for reveiw.

For most diabetics, a concentration of 100 units of insulin per cc (U-100 insulin) is the simplest and safest concentration. It is compatible with the metric system and reduces the volume of the injection. The introduction of U-100 gives the nurse an opportunity, not only to review her own knowledge of insulin use in diabetes, but also to assess the diabetic individual's understanding of it.
