Each session consists of completing a diabetes care record sheet (DCRS) together with the patient. The DCRS consists of two parts: Five questions on self-care activities in the last three months and a graph with previously measured HbA1c levels. This information is completed at each session, resulting in a graph showing the evolution of glycaemic control related to self-care activities.
