Questions for Diabetes Coaching

Questions to bring to a diabetes coaching conversation

You do not need to arrive with every question perfectly organized. Start by noting which parts of your existing care instructions are clear and which parts need explanation.

Write down what you want to understand

You might ask: Which instructions should I clarify with my treating clinician? What information would be useful to bring to a coaching discussion? How can I explain the daily routines I find difficult? What kind of coaching support does the practice offer?

Keep the conversation connected to your care team

Bring your current care instructions and medication list if requested. If your treating clinician has asked you to keep monitoring records, ask whether those would be useful. Coaching should support understanding of your existing plan; it does not replace medical review or authorize medication changes.

Ask about the service itself

Confirm who provides coaching, what the sessions include, whether follow-up is available and what fees apply. Ask directly about qualifications or program recognition rather than assuming certification.
