Diabetes Self-management Education is a very important part of are for all Americans with the diabetes condition and it is very important if one is to improve the outcome of the patient. According to the national standards diabetes self-management education is designed to define the quality self-management of diabetes education and to help nursing or physician educators of diabetes in a number of settings so as to improve and provide for the best evidence based education. This is due to the dynamic nature of the diabetes related research and quality health care. Such standards are revised and reviewed approximately each five years by important organizations and other federal agencies with the community of diabetes self-management education.  According to a study by Sun, RN, PhD et al. (2015) Diabetes self-management education is supposed to be an ongoing process regarding facilitating the skill, knowledge and ability required for diabetes care. The process always incorporates the goals, requirement and the experience or life of each individual experiencing diabetes condition, this is supposed to be done in respect to ethical standards. The basic objective of diabetes self-management education is to support self-care, informed decision making, and problem solving and having an active partnership with the team that provides healthcare so as to improve the health status, clinical outcomes and the quality of life for the patient.  One of the unethical issues comes through not considering the social, economic and cultural background of the patient since diabetes self-management education is provided through set standards. However most physicians and nurse would implement DSME without considering the social, economic and cultural aspects involved in the condition. This might make individuals hard to adhere to physical therapy or nutritional aspects of the condition. It is important that DSME is delivered individually since each patient comes from a different social, economic and cultural background.
