    Diabetes management in a changing society. Associating forces to create more sustainable collaborations.
    (2016) Arias, Nurianne; Arias, Nurianne
    This thesis presents a qualitative research on diabetes management, its success factors and barriers in Aruba. This thesis also includes theoretical studies of global approaches and practices. The thesis categorizes five key factors of diabetes management which are; level of prevention, policy/program development and implementation approach, collaboration and communication, medical and psychosocial support, and instruments. The main finding of the research is that a joint strategic plan should be developed for all three levels of prevention namely primary prevention for the community in general, secondary prevention for at risk patients and secondary prevention for diagnosed patients. This plan should aim at concretely defining the tasks of each stakeholder of diabetes management. This plan should also describe how resources including monetary and human resources should be redistributed. This should be supported by a research based on FINDRISC (Finnish Diabetes Association, 2006) in order to collect new and relevant data about the current population that is at risk of developing diabetes and that are diagnosed with diabetes.
