A brief instructions

The doctor communicates through the telemedicine platform and sets patient-centered goals. The communication is two-way, asking the patient about program suggestions and giving virtual feedback. The goal is to empower the patient, increase motivation, and improve long-term adherence to the program.
The communication content can be as follows:
The doctor provides the patient with the following guidelines:
“I will walk for 15 minutes, 5 days a week for the next 2 weeks.”
“I will check my feet every night before bed.”
“I will take my diabetes medication at the same time every morning.”
“I will practice balance exercises near my kitchen counter every day.”
The patient is also encouraged to do self-monitoring, by noting down a daily self report:
Keep a simple log for: Exercise completed, Blood sugar readings (if applicable), Foot condition (cuts, redness, numbness)
Celebrate small improvements and progress
The doctor assesses understanding through the online platform.

However, the patient is a bit confused and requires further follow up.
