The Maresme Health Consortium has launched an internal reorganization of the diabetes education service at Mataró Hospital, leading to the temporary suspension of all group training sessions.

Hospital officials state that diabetes education remains fully guaranteed through one-on-one consultations with specialized nurses. These individual sessions are longer than standard appointments to ensure personalized care, particularly for patients with new diagnoses.

"Diabetes education is 100% guaranteed, and we do not believe any patient can say they are not receiving this training."

Despite these assurances, patients have raised concerns about the impact on healthcare quality. Critics argue that group sessions are essential for mastering insulin adjustments and carbohydrate counting. Some reports suggest the changes are linked to unreplaced medical leave among the nursing staff in Mataró.
