Abstract:
Diabetes has reached pandemic proportions globally. In recent times the management of diabetes has moved, from being physician centric, to a patient centric model, wherein the patient himself or herself is empowered to take some decisions with the help of the managing health care team. It is therefore imperative for us to precisely know the rights and responsibilities of the patient and other stakeholders in the management of diabetes. In this paper we shall discuss these rights and responsibilities with examples from day-to-day clinical practice. The same model can also be applied to other chronic metabolic disorders like Obesity, Hypertension and Dyslipidaemia.
