Name: Dawn Ortiz Title of Presentation: Diabetes Education

Target Audience: Older adults (65+ years) living in a retirement community, class setting is a bright activities room with plenty of tables and chairs set up in a horseshoe pattern with me in the middle, this presentation was requested by my grandmother and her friends to better understand how to manage a very common disease in their community.

(describe the group, including age, setting of the class, and any other pertinent information)

Date, Location, and Time: August 28, 2014 at 10:00am at Arbor Ridge at Brookmeade Senior Independent Living Apartments

1. Learning Objectives (These should be from the learners’ standpoint, be measurable and active do not use words similar to know, learn or understand):

1) Participants will be able to explain what happens in people with diabetes to cause high blood sugar.

2) Participants will be able to state the range for fasting blood glucose, after eating and 2 hours after eating for normal, impaired and diabetic conditions.

3) Participants will give examples of meal planning using carbohydrate counting.

2. Ice Breaker: Ask the participants to raise their hands if they know anyone that has diabetes. Then ask if they think trying to manage blood sugar is confusing. Let the group know that I will be teaching how to manage blood sugar through food!

4. Evaluation Method/ Activity:

I had three evaluation activities during my presentation. Asking the audience to give me more examples of carbohydrates and appropriate portion sizes for carb counting, asking them to fill out the MyPlate diagram with appropriate meal choices to effectively manage blood sugar, and asking questions at the end to review key points and providing a small prize for participation. Another activity that I believe was effective was using props to demonstrate insulin resistance, which leads to high blood sugar. Plastic food props was also effective at demonstrating portion sizes.

5. Call to Action (Ask your audience what they will do/change as a result of the presentation. Can be oral or written, shared or not. The point is to get them to commit to some behavior change as a result of your class):

I ended the presentation with a call to action of asking what they will do different to make sure they are managing blood sugar. Many people gave me examples from my presentation, especially since I had done just finished the review slide with prizes for correct answers. The other call to action was filling out their MyPlate handouts. Almost every participant wanted help to make sure they were filling it out correctly.

6. Ending/Conclusion:

My conclusion to the presentation was the review slide and then asking for questions. I was there for over an hour after the presentation concluded answering questions. The questions were in regards to everything nutrition and food related.
