A comparatively inexpensive microcomputer‐based system of programmed diabetic instruction is described, matched to an interactive knowledge assessment questionnaire with or without prescriptive feedback. This provides an educational and assessment package for newly diagnosed and established diabetics, with additional analytical potential. The system is well accepted, demonstrates major areas of defective knowledge and allows cost‐effective handling of large numbers of patients.
