Medicinska sestra si prizadeva, da bolnika nauči zdravega življenjskega sloga, v katero spadajo zdrava prehrana, redna telesna dejavnost, primerna osebna higiena in samokontrola sladkorne bolezni. Velik poudarek se daje tudi na podajanju informacij o sladkorni bolezni nasploh, kaj to je, kakšni so njeni zapleti, kateri vzroki privedejo do takšnega stanja in še veliko več.

Anketa je vsebovala 44 vprašanj odprtega in zaprtega tipa in je bila sestavljena iz dveh delov. Prvega smo izvedli pred začetkom edukacije v Šoli za sladkorne bolnike, drugega pa ob koncu. Rezultati: Ugotovili smo, da udeleženci v Šoli za sladkorne bolnike pridobijo potrebna znanja in veščine. Zapomnili so si veliko več informacij, ki so bile pokazane praktično in povedane ustno, kot pa podane samo v obliki knjig in zloženk. Medicinska sestra je oseba, katera je največ naučila udeležence o sladkorni bolezni.
