2
00:00:10,467 --> 00:00:13,367
As a trainer, don't assume
that everyone knows

3
00:00:13,367 --> 00:00:15,567
about basic diabetes information.

4
00:00:15,567 --> 00:00:17,867
Community Health Workers have
different backgrounds and

5
00:00:17,867 --> 00:00:20,934
experiences, so their
knowledge will vary.

6
00:00:20,934 --> 00:00:23,834
That's why it's important
to begin with the basics.

7
00:00:23,834 --> 00:00:27,633
However, you should emphasize
that this is not diabetes

8
00:00:27,633 --> 00:00:30,900
education training but rather
a training that will teach

9
00:00:30,900 --> 00:00:35,166
ways to prevent or delay type 2
diabetes in their communities.

10
00:00:35,166 --> 00:00:41,900
[speaking in background]

11
00:00:41,900 --> 00:00:44,233
A good way to begin
is to emphasize the

12
00:00:44,233 --> 00:00:46,867
seriousness of
type 2 diabetes.

13
00:00:46,867 --> 00:00:48,900
Briefly discuss the
complications associated

14
00:00:48,900 --> 00:00:52,166
with it, and then use the
following activities from this

15
00:00:52,166 --> 00:00:55,300
video to help your group
understand that diabetes

16
00:00:55,300 --> 00:00:59,000
is a common illness and that
it can affect not only an

17
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,967
individual but also
an entire family.

18
00:01:02,967 --> 00:01:07,266
In this video, you will find a
section on education resources.

19
00:01:07,266 --> 00:01:11,500
This is where you'll find an
interactive CD-ROM presentation

20
00:01:11,500 --> 00:01:15,567
from the American Diabetes
Association Link for Life.

21
00:01:15,567 --> 00:01:19,600
The Road to Health Flipchart
also includes basic information

22
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:23,700
and a diagram of specific organs
affected by diabetes.

23
00:01:23,700 --> 00:01:27,100
Activity 6, the basic concepts
of diabetes, in your Training

24
00:01:27,100 --> 00:01:30,667
Guide, includes more ways
to find information.

25
00:01:30,667 --> 00:01:35,800
Also, the NDEP website has a
wealth of information, including

26
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:40,066
resources you can use to reach
out to people with diabetes,

27
00:01:40,066 --> 00:01:42,734
people at risk for
type 2 diabetes,

28
00:01:42,734 --> 00:01:43,934
or health care
providers.
