I created a facebook page about Diabetes. I wanted to make awareness on this topic because I haven’t talked about diabetes in any of my other blog posts yet and I also believe that many people do not realize the consequences of having uncontrolled blood sugar. When people think diabetes, they just think it is ‘high blood sugar”. But do they understand what high sugar can do your body? There are many consequences such as ketoacidosis, coma, neuropathy, retinopathy, kidney damage, feet amputation, cardiomyopathy, and much more. These are just some examples of the possible consequences of uncontrolled blood sugar levels can lead to. I attached five videos which I found will be very helpful in teaching my audience. A video about what is diabetes and the different types. Another video about the consequences that can occur from this disease if it is not controlled. A couple videos about how to treat diabetes and what food to avoid. And lastly, the video I wanted to include was a nursing teaching video on diabetes which is a great learning tool for anyone who has question about this disease.
