Diabetes Presentation

Imagine you are a community health educator and you have been tasked with developing a presentation to be given in a setting to educate an audience on one type of diabetes.

Identify your audience. Examples include the following:

• Senior center
• Middle school
• A workplace

Create a resource (350 to 700 words) as a way to share this information. Examples include the following:

• A social media page
• An information pamphlet
• A presentation

Consider the best method so it is crafted in an appropriate and understandable way for your identified audience.

Choose from the two following options:

Option A: Type 1 Diabetes

• How society views Type 1 diabetes (what society thinks it is versus what it actually is, common beliefs and practices)
• Signs and symptoms
• Compliance with treatment regimens
• Making the right decisions to live a healthy life
• Impact on health care resources

Option B: Type 2 Diabetes

• How society views Type 2 diabetes (what society thinks it is versus what it actually is, common beliefs and practices)
• Preventive measures
• Signs and symptoms
• Making the right decisions to live a healthy life
• Compliance with treatment regimens
  
• Impact on health care resources
