Newswise The revised framework for the AADE7 Self-Care Behaviors published this week in the April issue of The Diabetes Educator journal. As the foundation of diabetes self-management care and support, updates to the framework reflect growing shifts in diabetes, prediabetes and cardiometabolic care since their last update in 2010.

This update is in response to a broader change in how we now think about self-management, from linear behaviors we review on a list, to overlapping, connected lifestyle changes that build on each other, said Kellie Antinori-Lent, MSN, RN, ACNS-BC, BC-ADM, CDCES, FADCES, 2020 president of the Association of Diabetes Care & Education Specialists. Each behavior is, at its core, person-centered and that means we start with the person with diabetes and their readiness to change and sustain change. What barriers do they experience and how must we help them overcome those barriers?

Key trends from the revision include:

Expanded role of the diabetes care and education specialist

Increasing integration of technology into self-care

Greater awareness of social determinants of health
