Dhysiological approaches to diabetes therapy can make excellent control possible while protecting patients' lifestyle choices. This paper describes a diabetes programme that employs a teaching method which promotes patient-centred values while pursuing optimal metabolic control. Discovery learning is an experience and inquiry-based method of instruction. It is used in the programme described herein to guide individuals with both type 1 and type 2 diabetes to make informed self-care decisions such as `writing their own diets', and adjusting insulin doses, if appropriate, based on their blood glucose results and experience.

Key Words: diabetes education • diabetes self-care • empowerment • insulin self-management • type 1 diabetes • type 2 diabetes.
