Description

In collaboration with the health centre for a local BC First Nation, this project designed a six-week course on diabetes self-management for community members who have or have been newly diagnosed with diabetes. The course was divided into six modules: 1) Introduction, 2) Holistic Care and Diabetes, 3) Nutrition and Lifestyle, 4) Medications, 5) Managing Diabetes, and 6) Diabetes and Mental Health. For each module, project members created a series of PowerPoint slides, patient handouts containing visual resources and activities, and facilitator handouts with notes, information for preparation, and materials needed for each module.
