Abstract
Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease affecting a large segment of world's population. This article proposes the prototype design of a Tutoring System (TS) developed to support the educational needs related to DM treatment. The objective is to guide Type 1 patients and their families in the better routines and cautions they should follow, to improve their life quality. As the TS design is the first step of the project of an Intelligent Tutoring System design, the entire project is presented but the first step, the TS design and the pedagogical issues are described more in detail in this article.
