Diabetes is a chronic condition that affects around 8% of the French population, and is associated with severe complications. Maintaining a constant blood glucose level of between 0.7 and 1.80 g/l is the day-to-day objective of diabetic patients.Insulin can be administered by injection via syringes or pens, or by insulin pumps and patients can perform self-monitoring of blood glucose.

All these actions can be the subject of therapeutic education, which involves a range of tools, including dedicated individual consultations carried out by state-qualified nurses.

The aim of the study is to evaluate the benefit of therapeutic education consultations conducted by nurses in addition to medical consultations, on the follow-up of diabetic patients, insulin pump carriers or treated with multiple injections, in terms of glycemic control, quality of life and medical complications. The objective of the study is to evaluate whether the therapeutic education consultations conducted by nurses can improve the care of the diabetic patient.
