Isadora's dedication to patient education, particularly in the use of continuous glucose monitors (CGMs), represents a holistic approach to diabetes care.
I would like to thank my nurse and share my story of why this nurse is so special:
Isadora's comprehensive support for newly diagnosed type 1 diabetics exemplifies the extraordinary qualities that make her a DAISY Nurse. Her approach goes far beyond the standard care protocols, demonstrating an exceptional level of dedication and empathy towards her patients. By ensuring that her patients not only understand how to manage their condition with insulin pens but also facilitating the practical aspects of their care, Isadora significantly eases the patient's burden of navigating a "new normal."
Isadora proactively contacts pharmacies to confirm that the prescriptions are covered by the patients' insurance. This step is crucial in avoiding the common and often stressful pitfalls that can occur with insurance coverage for diabetes management supplies. Her efforts ensure that patients have a smooth transition from hospital to home care, with their medications and supplies ready and available when they need them.
Furthermore, Isadora's dedication to patient education, particularly in the use of continuous glucose monitors (CGMs), represents a holistic approach to diabetes care. By teaching her patients how to use these advanced tools, she empowers them to take control of their condition and achieve better glycemic control. This education is vital for newly diagnosed patients, who often find the array of new information and techniques overwhelming.
Isadora's proactive, patient-centered approach to nursing care, particularly in her work with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetics, showcases the exceptional qualities of compassion, innovation, and leadership that the DAISY Award honors. Her dedication to ensuring her patients' successful management of their condition from the outset sets a standard of excellence in nursing and makes her a worthy recipient of this prestigious award.
