The MEDIAS 2 CT program is based on a self-management/empowerment approach. It is conducted as a group program comprising 6 lessons of 90 minutes each. MEDIAS 2 CT was designed to help patients perform conventional insulin therapy. In addition, MEDIAS 2 CT focused on controlling metabolic risk factors (elevated lipids and blood pressure), coping with the risk of late complications, and reducing the emotional burden of diabetes and its treatment.
