Types of Diabetes (DM) Type 1 -cell destruction; autoimmune disease; complete lack of insulin 5-10% of total patients Type 2 -cell dysfunction and insulin resistance Gestational -cell dysfunction and insulin resistance during pregnancy
There is no such thing as Borderline Diabetes or a “Touch of Diabetes.” Pre-diabetes is a diagnosis.

Why teach self-management? • Patients must control their blood glucose (BG) levels to avoid complications • Controlling BG is a complex, 24/7, life-long task • Rx’s change, increase; may not insure optimal BG control • Changes in dietary intake & physical activity necessary • And more… • So much to learn and do (or stop doing)
PWD’s* everyday reality * “Diabetic” is not a noun
As teacher educators, how would you recommend teaching diabetes self-management? Here’s the challenge

Inflation calculator used to change costs from 2007 to 2010 dollars. • 5 No 2020-2030 projections available for school expenditures, so just repeated % GDP from the prior 2 decades. Used Huang et al.’s total diabetes medical costs for 2007, together with 2007 GDP, to calculate costs as % GDP in that year (1.1%). Then used their Exhibit 3 (projected real growth as multiple of GDP) to estimate % GDP in 2010, 2020, and 2030. No data prior to 2007, so just took line toward asymtope .

Our efforts • Describe job of self-care from patient’s perspective. • Collaboration with CDS: AUCD Conference • AADE Conference: “Cognitive Demands of DSME” • NACDD Teleconference:“Cognitive Demands of DSME” • AADE Conference 2013: “Psychometrics of DSME in the Elderly” • Identify the job’s most critical tasks • Trace (and limit) cognitive complexity of learning tasks • Differentiate instruction by ability (“literacy”) level • Provide scripts for providers that minimize complexity • Provide patient handout that reinforces learning
AADE’s description of DSM* Living well with diabetes requires active, diligent, effective self-management of the disease. It is a process that: • Requires making and acting on choices, on a regular and recurring basis, that affect one’s health • Includes • learning the body of knowledge relevant to the disease state, • defining personal goals, weighing the benefits and risks of various treatment options, • making informed choices about treatment, • developing skills (both physical and behavioral) to support those choices, • evaluating the efficacy of the plan toward reaching self-defined goals. *American Association of Diabetes Educators (AADE) (2011). Scope of Practice, Standards of Practice, and Standards of Professional Performance for Diabetes Educators, pp. 1-2. http://www.diabeteseducator.org/export/sites/aade/_resources/pdf/research/ScopeStandards_Final2_1_11.pdf

Bloom’s Taxonomy of Learning ObjectivesLatest (2001) revision Not just readability!! Bloom levels = continuum of cognitive complexity
Bloom’s taxonomy of educational objectives (cognitive domain)* Simplest tasks 1. Remember recognize, recall, Identify, retrieve 2. Understand paraphrase, summarize, compare, predict, infer 3. Apply execute familiar task,, apply procedure to unfamiliar task 4. Analyze distinguish, focus, select, integrate, coordinate 5. Evaluate check, monitor, detect inconsistencies, judge effectiveness 6. Create hypothesize, plan, invent, devise, design Most complex tasks “To be or not to be” To be or not to be, that is the question. To be or not to be, that is the question. To be or not to be, that is the question. To be or not to be, that is the question. To be or not to be, that is the question. To be or not to be, that is the question. *Revised 2001: Anderson, L.

Determine when & why blood glucose is out of control Monitor symptoms; assess whether action needed; evaluate effectiveness of actions Create daily and contingency plans that control blood glucose *Revised 2001: Anderson, L.

What about reading nutrition labels? • How important? • How complex? Essential Extremely
Amount per serving Information is better because it’s in chart form • But, • it contains a • confusing technical symbol. • Can you spot it? • “Amount/serving”
And here? Organic No sugar added Healthy
Better, but… • Cons: • Lots of irrelevant info • Seemingly inconsistent info • Pros: • Fewer items • Single vertical list • Major headings stand out
Food Label revision… counting carbohydrates
