Abstract
Diabetes distress is a phenomenon not well identified in providers in primary care clinics. Diabetes-specific instruments such as the Diabetes Distress Scale are tools to guide interventions directed at the emotional burden of diabetes experienced by patients. Diabetes distress and the burden of managing this disease contribute to the adverse outcomes in patients experiencing this disease. Therefore, identifying diabetes distress through the education of providers and registered dieticians is the goal of this quality improvement initiative.
