2/22/2006 - Lars Helgeson and Carolee Dodge Francis I remember a time, years ago, when I chased my sister amongst an acre of corn. Our neighbors cornfield was that endless playground, where only the young find exhilaration in running until you fall over in exhaustion. We were young and full of energy. The Sun beamed upon our shining faces and you could hear our laughter floating between the rustling corn stalks. How quickly our lives would transform into a myriad of health issues that neither of us could have ever foreseen. Years later, we would share a mirrored journey of trepidation and unknown fears into the disease of diabetes (Dodge Francis 2004). Diabetes is a prevalent disease in the United States. According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), approximately 206,000 people under age 20 in the United States have diabetes. In the age 20 or older population group, 18.2 million have diabetes. Of those, 13 million people are diagnosed and 5.2 million people are undiagnosed. Based on these numbers, 8.7% of the people in this particular age group have diabetes (NIDDK 2002). Diabetes is more prevalent among the African American, Hispanic/Latino American, and American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) populations (NIDDK 2002). Diabetes mellitus is defined as a condition in which a persons blood glucose is too high because the body cannot use it properly. Two types of diabetes exist: Type 1 diabetes: This form of diabetes occurs because the pancreas produces no insulin. Type 2 diabetes: The most common form of diabetes; occurs when either the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or the body does not respond to insulin properly. Often the pancreas initially makes insulin, but, over time, it loses its ability to produce this hormon Continue reading >>

Reconvene as a class and hang the posters at the front of the room and have a volunteer from each group read their poster aloud. Ask questions like: Are there common terms or themes among the posters? What else do you notice? What questions do students have about diabetes? Jot these on the board, to return to later in the lesson. Next, ask students if theyve heard references to diabetes in the news lately.

Kidney Disease Education Lesson Builder

Kidney Disease Education Lesson Builder

This section helps educators create and implement lesson plans for counseling patients with CKD about managing their disease and preparing for renal replacement therapy (RRT). It also helps health professionals find patient education content and resources based on CKD topic. This resource is divided into six lessons that can be carried out one-on-one or in group settings. For each lesson, we have included learning objectives, sample session starters, recommended session content, information for learners that can be printed and ordered, clinical information for educators, sample outcome assessment questions, and visual teaching aids that can be used during the lessons. This resource also provides links to relevant educational videos that model ways educators can answer common patient questions. The content of these six lesson plans meets the needs of qualified providers seeking to deliver the Kidney Disease Education (KDE) Services benefit, as defined by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (PDF,206 KB) (beneficiaries must have an eGFR of 29 or lower). CMS requires outcome assessments of patient knowledge for each session. Sample assessment questions are provided. You are encouraged, however, to develop your own overall outcome indicators and program assessments. When possible, include family members and loved ones in learning sessions. Consider how cultural considerations may impact your lesson content for certain populations. As always, be sensitive to the needs of your patients. Kidney disease and kidney failure can cause fear within patients. Consider including an actual patient as a guest speaker to share experiences for group session. Continue reading >>
