NEW VIDEOS, WEBSITE OFFER IMPORTANT RESOURCES
FOR PEOPLE AFFECTED BY DIABETES
.
.
NIH and CDC diabetes education program offers resources to support
lifestyle change
.
New videos to help people make lifestyle changes and cope with the demands
of diabetes were announced by the U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services' National Diabetes Education Program (NDEP). The series of
three-to five-minute videos, which can be found at
.
http://www.YourDiabetesInfo.org/HealthSense
.
address topics such as setting goals to improve health, living with
diabetes, finding the support you need, as well as segments on diabetes
prevention and physical activity.
.
The video series is the latest addition to NDEP's offerings in lifestyle
change. The videos are being released to coincide with the redesign of
NDEP's online library of behavior change resources, Diabetes HealthSense.
Diabetes HealthSense provides users with a searchable database of
research, tools, and programs to address the wide array of psychosocial
and lifestyle-change challenges associated with diabetes self-management.
Resources included in Diabetes HealthSense have been reviewed by a team of
leading independent experts on psychosocial issues with specific expertise
in the science of behavior change.
.
"For more than 14 years, the NDEP has been in the forefront of raising
awareness about diabetes, but more needs to be done to provide resources
and tools to support health care providers and their patients when it
comes to achieving and sustaining health goals," said Griffin P. Rodgers,
M.D., director of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and
Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) of the National Institutes of Health, one of the
sponsors of NDEP.
.
Visitors to the Diabetes HealthSense site can view videos featuring expert
professionals who are volunteers to NDEP -- as well as people living with
diabetes or working to prevent type 2 diabetes -- about setting goals and
making lifestyle changes. Initial videos (with more in the series to
follow) include the following topics:
.
.
-- setting goals to improve your health
-- managing type 2 diabetes
-- living with type 2 diabetes: finding the support you need
-- preventing type 2 diabetes
-- maintaining a healthy weight
-- practical tips and action steps: physical activity
.
.
Additionally, visitors can choose what they'd like help with, such as how
to cope with stress and emotions, eat healthy, or be active. They can also
utilize tracking tools for calories or physical activity, or online
programs to help them manage their weight or stop smoking.
.
"It's common to feel overwhelmed, sad, or angry when you are living with a
chronic disease such as diabetes," said NDEP's executive committee chair
and certified diabetes educator Martha M. Funnell, M.S., R.N. "A person
may know what to do to improve their health, but figuring out how to do it
can be one of the biggest challenges. For example, people know that being
physically active can help them lose weight. But do they know how to take
the necessary steps to become more physically active and keep it up over
time?"
.
Diabetes HealthSense includes links to tools and programs to help people
set goals and find ways to deal with the stress and emotions that can
prevent a person from achieving their goals -- whether they have diabetes
or are at risk for the disease.
.
NDEP is jointly sponsored by NIH and the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention. NDEP works with more than 200 partners and offers materials
and resources to the general public, people diagnosed with diabetes, and
health care and business professionals. NDEP resources are available at
