Libraries, 2007) Al-Subhi, Lyutha Khalfan, author; Kendall, Patricia, advisor; Adams, Elizabeth, advisorOman is one of the countries faced with the challenge of an increasing rate of diabetes. The National Diabetes Control Program (NDCP), in Oman, aims to provide a suitable and quality health education to people with diabetes and the community. Diabetes management guidelines for Primary Health Care (PHC) in Oman point out that all members of the diabetes health care team share the responsibility of educating those with diabetes.
