The purpose of this article is to share an educational tool that is relevant for use with individuals with diabetes. The Diabetes Risk/Improvement Scale readily conveys to the patient in simple terms the risks that are involved if proper lifestyle controls are not in place. Diabetes educators will find this tool useful for assessment of patients as well as meaningful to patients in preventing complications of diabetes mellitus.
