Diabetes Essential Skills kit learning modules

Summary: The Diabetes Essential Skills kit consists of two parts, contained in separate documents. The Learning modules address 6 common barriers to an individual's independent diabetes self-management. These barriers are: reading and understanding information, understanding and remembering information given verbally, using math to manage diet, using ratios to caculate insulin dosage, filling in forms, recognizing and analysing patterns in blood glucose test results. The 12 learning modules include activities from a variety of contexts including diabetes, employment and education so they can be used in a number of settings. Each module includes an introduction, the Essential Skills levels (and Ontario Adult Literacy Curriculum Framework competencies and descriptors), practitioner instructions, lessons and handouts, and an answer key.
