A diabetes decision-making tool has been established to help healthcare professionals ensure the best possible management of type 2 diabetes.
EDEN ELECT is designed to help users gain knowledge and build confidence in making decisions related to diabetes in order to avoid long term complications.
EDEN’s free counseling service, located at the Leicester Diabetes Center, aims to increase the knowledge and confidence of primary care physicians in the care of a person with diabetes.
The main feature of EDEN ELECT is the unique decision resource focused on patient counseling. Together, the person with diabetes and their doctor can work through an area of the body or lifestyle section for further discussion.
The main page focuses on a caricature of the human body, and the user can click on any specific area of the body to discover topics that can aid conversations doctors should have with their patient.
The main bullet points have the essential knowledge related to each specific area. Click on the icons around the body for information on various aspects of lifestyle and click on each part of the body for relevant information.
To delve deeper into specific problem areas, simply click the “Learn More” button.
