When considering the management of diabetes, it is important to recognise that the person living with diabetes is living with a complex long-term condition involving monitoring diet, reviewing exercise targets and ensuring adherence to multiple medications on a daily basis. A focus on achieving glycaemic, blood pressure and lipid targets has the potential to lose the person at the centre, replacing them with a “patient” and targets.
