ON-LINE RESOURCES for DIABETES EDUCATION

Multi-Cultural Education Manuals:
The Utah Diabetes Prevention and Program's website has several multi-cultural education manuals that can be printed and given to patients and families. These multi-cultural manuals were developed by Ann Marie Brooks, RN, diabetes educator at St. Marks Hospital.

To print these multi-cultural information click on: Multi-Cultural Education Manuals

The National Diabetes Education Program (NDEP):
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.
