Good communication skills will help with teamwork. Here are a few guidelines we find helpful for weekly talks.
1. Try talking about diabetes care on the same day of the week and at the same time of day to establish a routine.
2. Try to focus on the person with diabetes and their health care for at least 10 minutes.
3. Try to focus your full attention on the conversation without being distracted. Write a list of things you want to cover before talking.
