Abstract

A course developed by an Isle of Wight diabetes consultant teaches patients to instruct other patients on self-management of the condition. Supporters say the training is more relevant to diabetes than the expert patient programme. Health professionals' wariness of the scheme has taken its toll on take-up of the service.
