Diabetes Educators Calgary Charting Guidelines

Charting guidelines are intended for use by Diabetes Centre Calgary clinicians. This page is in development - ongoing updates are being made.

For a video demonstration to get you started with your practice charting, see this link. In the PLY environment, the server is re-set to the defaults every night. Changes that you make to any of the patients, or to log in profiles do not carry over from one day to the next.
