Diabetes care is complex and so is successful behaviour change.  Attention to patient education and deliberate interventions to enable self management are keys to better diabetes outcomes.  Our team at the University Health Network in Toronto have been designing, implementing and evaluating multimodal and multilingual patient education materials for persons living with diabetes and other chronic conditions for over a decade. This presentation will highlight the journey and share these available resources.
