Diabetes, Epipen, & Bloodborne Pathogen Annual Staff Traini...
Diabetes, EpiPen, & Bloodborne PathogenTraining (ALL Employees): Principals must designate one person in each school to maintain their Diabetes Training Roster,EpiPen Training Roster, and Blodborne Pathogen Training Roster. This person will be responsible for insuring that ALL school personnel (teachers, office staff, administrators, custodians, bus drivers, cafeteria, etc.) completethese trainings every year. When all staff have completed training, and the rosters for the yearare complete, the rosters will be kept by the School Nurse. Documentation should be kept for one year; it may be discarded when the new year's information is completed. Staff should beinformedof who your school's Diabetic Care Managers (DCM's) and EpiPen Administratorsare in case of emergency. Training may be completed on anindividual basisor ingroups(i.e. during a staff meeting)during regular work hours: Individual Training: Staff will complete the videos and tests, which will be turned in to the School Nurse. The Nurse will forward the completed tests to the designated staff person who will check names off on the school training roster. Maintain the tests at your school as backup for 1 year - discard the prior year when the new year is completed. Group Training: The administrator of group training sessions must have staff complete a sign-in sheet.The videos must be shown to the group, and all present employees must complete the tests.The diabetes testand bloodborne pathogen test are printable and can be completed at the training. Thefood allergy/EpiPen quiz must be taken online - thisshould be completed as soon as possible after the training.The sign-in sheet will be given to the designated staff person to check names off on the school roster.

Diabetes And Strength Training!
Strength training when done correctly has been shown to provide a safe and effective way to control blood glucose, increase strength, and improve the quality of life in individuals with diabetes. Diabetes is a chronic life disease which has affected people all over the world. It's more important in view of the fact that the incidence and prevalence of Diabetes is increasing in endemic proportions and in another 10 years the number of diabetic patients in world will just be double. It has affected my life too as both my parents are diabetics as are millions of other persons. However still, regular exercise combined with good nutrition can help in controlling Diabetes to a great extent. I'm specifically writing this article to give tips to the diabetics on how to improve their fitness after a lot of research I have done on the net. Strength Training Strength training when done correctly has been shown to provide a safe and effective way to control blood glucose, increase strength, and improve the quality of life in individuals with diabetes. Strength training (in the form of weight lifting) is also an effective form of exercise for the vast majority of diabetic patients. It helps improve muscle tone and in some cases increases muscle size. Larger muscles burn more calories even when you are resting, therefore regular resistance training can help lose fat and control blood glucose 24 hours a day. It may also help reduce the risk of heart disease. Before starting any weight lifting routine see your doctor as lifting weights for some diabetics may worsen their diabetic complications. Caution! DO NOT do strength training if you have type 1 diabetes and your blood glucose level is greater than 250mg/dl or if you have high levels of ketones in your urine. High urinary ketones m Continue reading >>

Resistance Training And Type 2 Diabetes
Considerations for implementation at the population level Aerobic exercise has consistently been shown to improve glucose control (1–3), enhance insulin sensitivity (2,4,5), and improve cardiovascular risk factors such as visceral adiposity (2), lipid profile (6), arterial stiffness (7), and endothelial function (8). Consistent with this evidence, the American Diabetes Association (ADA) recommends that individuals with type 2 diabetes perform at least 150 min of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise and/or at least 90 min of vigorous aerobic exercise per week (9). Although a lifestyle modification of this nature could have substantial impact on the metabolic and cardiovascular health of this population, it is often difficult for those who have been habitually sedentary to adhere to these guidelines. Indeed, a recent population-based study found that only 28% of individuals with type 2 diabetes achieve these recommendations (10). Unfortunately, it is frequently those who would benefit the most from aerobic exercise that have the greatest difficulty performing it. For individuals with severe obesity, arthritis, physical disabilities, and/or diabetes complications, even walking for 20–30 min may be challenging, uncomfortable, and/or painful to perform. With the continued increase in the prevalence of type 2 diabetes (11), it is evident that alternate forms of physical activity that produce similar metabolic improvements to aerobic exercise may be beneficial in the management of this disease. Resistance training has recently been recognized as a useful therapeutic tool for the treatment of a number of chronic diseases (12–19) and has been demonstrated to be safe and efficacious for the elderly (20,21) and obese (22) individuals. Similar to aerobic exercise, resistance t Continue reading >>

Home-based Resistance Training Is Not Sufficient To Maintain Improved Glycemic Control Following Supervised Training In Older Individuals With Type 2 Diabetes.
International Diabetes Institute, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. [email protected] To examine whether improvements in glycemic control and body composition resulting from 6 months of supervised high-intensity progressive resistance training could be maintained after an additional 6 months of home-based resistance training. We performed a 12-month randomized controlled trial in 36 sedentary, overweight men and women with type 2 diabetes (aged 60-80 years) who were randomly assigned to moderate weight loss plus high-intensity progressive resistance training (RT&WL group) or moderate weight loss plus a control program (WL group). Supervised gymnasium-based training for 6 months was followed by an additional 6 months of home-based training. Glycemic control (HbA1c), body composition, muscle strength, and metabolic syndrome abnormalities were assessed at 0, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months. Compared with the WL group, HbA1c decreased significantly more in the RT&WL group (-0.8%) during 6 months of supervised gymnasium-based training; however, this effect was not maintained after an additional 6 months of home-based training. In contrast, the greater increase in lean body mass (LBM) observed in the RT&WL group compared with the WL group (0.9 kg, P < 0.05) after the gymnasium-based training tended to be maintained after the home-based training (0.8 kg, P = 0.08). Similarly, the gymnasium-based increases in upper body and lower body muscle strength in the RT&WL group were maintained over the 12 months (P < 0.001). There were no between-group differences for changes in body weight, fat mass, fasting glucose, or insulin at 6 or 12 months. In older adults with type 2 diabetes, home-based progressive resistance training was effective for maintaining the gymnasium-based improvements in mu Continue reading >>

Jeffrey Janot, M.s. And Len Kravitz, Ph.d.
Training Clients With Diabetes Jeffrey Janot, M.S. and Len Kravitz, Ph.D. Introduction The incidence of diabetes mellitus, a metabolic disease, is a growing problem in the American population. To date, 16 million Americans have diabetes, either known or unknown, with 1,700 new cases being diagnosed everyday (Nieman 1998). Diabetes has been linked to the development of a variety of diseases including heart disease, stroke, peripheral vascular disease, and neurological disorders. The cause of death in individuals with diabetes is not the disorder itself, but from the diseases associated with it, most notably heart disease. Diabetes is classified into two categories: Type I and Type II. Typically, Type I diabetes occurs in younger individuals (not always!) and comprises approximately 10% of all diabetic cases. Thereby, 90% of the cases are Type II, which is most common in older individuals. Effective management and prevention strategies for diabetes are of utmost importance. As exercise professionals, you can play a crucial role within these strategies, working collaboratively with other skilled health professionals. It should be noted that there are a number of opportunities for personal trainers to enhance their professional knowledge, such as obtaining clinical-type certifications (ACE clinical exercise specialist, ACSM exercise specialist, etc.). This article will present recommendations and clinical considerations for the development of a safe strength training program for individuals with diabetes. A brief discussion of the pathophysiology behind diabetes will be presented first, followed by specific exercise prescription guidelines for strength training. In addition, Table 1 summaries some cardiorespiratory guidelines according to frequency, intensity, time and type Continue reading >>

Health Insurance Coverage Laws For Diabetes Self-management Education And Training
More than 30 million U.S. adults have diabetes and about 84 million have prediabetes or are at an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Teaching patients to monitor and manage their diabetes is an important method for controlling this disease. Many states require all public and private health insurance plans to cover diabetes self-management education and training (DSME/T). This map shows which states have laws that require such coverage for both private insurance plans and Medicaid, and provides information on legal requirements for, among other things, when DSME/T coverage is triggered, what specific activities are covered, and the standards that DSME/T must meet.

5 Ways Strength Training Can Help You Manage Diabetes
When it comes to type 2 diabetes management, strength training doesn’t always get the attention that aerobic exercises like running, walking, and bicycling do. But the truth is that a well-rounded fitness regimen should include both — and strength training has some unique benefits. While “strength training” may conjure images of bodybuilders lifting heavy weights, it doesn’t have to be that extreme. Strength training is defined simply as exercise you perform by moving part of your body against resistance. “That’s why it’s sometimes called resistance training,” says Karen Kemmis, PT, DPT, MS, a physical therapist and certified diabetes educator at SUNY Upstate Medical University in Syracuse, New York. Good examples are exercises that use stretchy elastic bands, or free weights like dumbbells and barbells. Calisthenics — exercises that use your own body weight — such as pushups and sit-ups qualify as strength training exercise, too. The American Diabetes Association (ADA) recommends at least two sessions of strength training a week, in addition to a minimum of 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity. “Strength training twice a week is good; three times a week is preferable. You should have at least one day of rest between sessions,” Kemmis says. A strength-training session should include a minimum of five exercises that work major muscle groups in the arms, legs, and trunk, she adds. 5 Benefits of Strength Training For people with diabetes, regular strength training can: 1. Help you use insulin more effectively. Insulin is a hormone that allows blood sugar (glucose) to enter your cells, where it’s used for energy (or stored for later). Pumping your muscles helps push glucose into them; regular strength training helps your body become Continue reading >>
Resistance Training For Diabetes Prevention And Therapy: Experimental Findings And Molecular Mechanisms
BioMed Research International Volume 2013 (2013), Article ID 805217, 8 pages 1Institute for Nutritional Sciences and Physiology, University for Health Sciences, Medical Informatics and Technology, A-6060 Hall in Tirol, Eduard Wallnoefer-Zentrum 1, Austria 2Department of Internal Medicine, Yale University School of Medicine, 333 Cedar Street, New Haven, CT 06510, USA Academic Editor: Pierpaolo De Feo Copyright © 2013 Barbara Strasser and Dominik Pesta. This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) is characterized by insulin resistance, impaired glycogen synthesis, lipid accumulation, and impaired mitochondrial function. Exercise training has received increasing recognition as a cornerstone in the prevention and treatment of T2D. Emerging research suggests that resistance training (RT) has the power to combat metabolic dysfunction in patients with T2D and seems to be an effective measure to improve overall metabolic health and reduce metabolic risk factors in diabetic patients. However, there is limited mechanistic insight into how these adaptations occur. This review provides an overview of the intervention data on the impact of RT on glucose metabolism. In addition, the molecular mechanisms that lead to adaptation in skeletal muscle in response to RT and that are associated with possible beneficial metabolic responses are discussed. Some of the beneficial adaptations exerted by RT include increased GLUT4 translocation in skeletal muscle, increased insulin sensitivity and hence restored metabolic flexibility. Increased energy expenditure and excess postexercise oxygen c Continue reading >>
Diabetes Training - Video | Profirstaid
In this lesson, you'll learn how to treat a patient with a blood sugar emergency. Some things to keep in mind about blood sugar problems: Signs and symptoms are the same for low blood sugar and high blood sugar Blood sugar issues will get worse without treatment Without treatment, a patient could become unresponsive and die The three most common signs and symptoms of someone experiencing a blood sugar issue are: A person with a blood sugar issue might also randomly fidget with something and appear quite out of it. Pro Tip #1: Even though the signs of high blood sugar are the same as those for low blood sugar, in patients suffering from high blood sugar, those symptoms will come on much more slowly and will likely be less intense. As always, the first thing you want to do is make sure the scene is safe and that your gloves are on. Make sure you have your rescue mask with a one-way valve handy and introduce yourself to the victim. "Hi, my name's _____. I'm a paramedic. I'm going to help you." Pro Tip #2: When a patient has high blood sugar, the body will try to rid itself of it through urination, and failing that, through hyperventilation. Which is why, in patients with high blood sugar, you'll often notice a hint of fruit or cheap wine on their breath. The reason for this is called ketoacidosis a byproduct of unused sugars in the body that become toxic. Pro Tip #3: If a patient is showing signs of a blood sugar issue, rule it out using sugar either over-the-counter products like soda or professional glucose products specifically for diabetic events. Follow the pro tip above as long as the patient is coherent enough to follow commands and isn't getting agitated or aggressive. Then begin encouraging the consumption of sugar or glucose. Warning: A patient can only consume Continue reading >>
