ON-LINE RESOURCES for DIABETES EDUCATION
The National Diabetes Education Program (NDEP) has on-line resources for health care professionals. The site includes toolkits, Powerpoint presentations for downloading, and other resources. There are also brochures and booklets on diabetes management for distribution to patients. For example, the booklet, When Your Child Is Diagnosed with Diabetes: Parents’ Questions for the Health Care Team, is an excellent source of information that will help families understand the role of the health care team and learn about a child’s diabetes care needs. Many materials are available in English, Spanish, and some Asian and Pacific Islander languages.
A limited number of materials may be ordered from the National Diabetes Education Program (NDEP) at no charge, but all materials can be downloaded for free.
