”As a diabetes nurse I supervise patients with type 1 and 2 diabetes. For patients who are diagnosed with diabetes, the world is often turned upside down. I teach them that it is also possible with diabetes to remain in the middle of life, and I give them tools on how to deal with their diabetes in daily life.

My job is a combination of providing care, education and working with (new) techniques. That's what makes it so interesting. I especially like the contact with different people. Every patient is different and needs a different approach.”
