Aim: To assess the effectiveness of a psycho-educational program in patients with schizophrenia.
Material And Methods: A psycho-educational program, which included 12 sessions (1.5h each session), was administered to 30 patients (23 women and 7 men), aged under 40 years (90%). The effectiveness of the program was estimated by comparing the proportion of hospitalizations within 12 months after its implementation, as well as by the average duration of hospitalizations.
Results And Conclusion: There was a decrease in relapses of mental disorders requiring hospitalization (from 4.9 to 3.8) and a reduction in the length of hospital stay for treatment (from 67 to 35 days). Psychoeducation programs can and should be implemented in practice of psychiatric services as an effective solution when dealing with a patient with schizophrenia and his family.

Background: Management of type 1 diabetes (T1D) requires the use of insulin, which can cause hypoglycaemia (low blood glucose levels). While most hypoglycaemic episodes can be self-treated, all episodes can be sudden, inconvenient, challenging to prevent or manage, unpleasant and/or cause unwanted attention or embarrassment. Severe hypoglycaemic episodes, requiring assistance from others for recovery, are rare but potentially dangerous.
