In your group I want you to discuss the myths that exist about how to properly manage diabetes - nutrition, activity, supplements, etc

Biology

In your group I want you to discuss the myths that exist about how to properly manage diabetes - nutrition, activity, supplements, etc. The links below are to the ADA website addressing myths as well as nutrition. You may also search around the web and find some others (there are so many!)

https://www.diabetes.org/diabetes-risk/prediabetes/myths-about-diabetes (Links to an external site.)

https://www.diabetes.org/nutrition (Links to an external site.)

The American Diabetes Association is a wonderful resource for both individuals and health professionals to help others learn how to manage their blood sugars. Take a look at the nutrition guidelines addressed on the website as well as what is covered in our ppt and book. The "Diabetes Diet" has changed a bit in the last few years and no longer stresses the idea of sticking to a strict carbohydrate count for most people. 

What things have you read or heard that may cause confusion for those who have diabetes (all types)? What myths have you heard or previously thought were true? 

Discuss these with your smaller group and find ways you might be able to help dispel these myths to potential patients, family or friends. What have you learned that has changed your mind about diabetes and diabetes management? 

Step 1: Review the American Diabetes Assoc. website links above, find any other myths online you might like to understand more.

Step 2: Post a myth(s) you may have seen or heard about Diabetes or Diabetes Management. Discuss how what we have learned so far has shown you the truth re: your chosen myth(s).  * demonstrate you learned something/looked at the links vs. tell a story about your family *

Step 3: What might we as health professionals be able to do to help dispel these myths.
