It was developed in conjunction with specialists from the <strong>National Institute of Medical Sciences and Nutrition \u2018Salvador Zubir\u00e1n\u2019<\/strong>, <strong>Mayo Clinic<\/strong> and the <strong>Carlos Slim Foundation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Since 2014, these institutions agreed to begin a process of restructuring and changing the care provide by mutual support groups for the control of diabetes in Mexico through <strong>CASALUD<\/strong>, model developed by the Foundation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>G\u00e1nale a la Diabetes<\/strong> is an innovative material because (besides being based on scientific evidence) was made taking into account the realities and needs of people living with <strong>diabetes<\/strong> in Minnesota and Mexico.<\/p>\n<p>According to the <strong>Mayo Clinic<\/strong>, about 15% of patients with <strong>diabetes<\/strong> who attend to their facilities in Rochester are Spanish speakers, and more than half of them speak only Spanish. Since auto-support groups are only held in English, Spanish-only speakers do not count with this help. Therefore they require educational not only materials translated into Spanish, but also materials adapted to their culture to fit their real needs.<\/p>\n<p>This new tool, which consists of eight chapters and a teaching guide, has two main objectives:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Start the re-engineering process of mutual support groups in Mexico and<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>People living with diabetes understand better their condition and learn to control it<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The collection consists of life stories divided into five educational topics including <strong>peer education<\/strong>, e.g. someone who is diabetic teaches me how he is self-caring. It also includes <strong>medical tips<\/strong> for quick recall, practical tips of people living with <strong>diabetes<\/strong>, and <strong>verifiable questions<\/strong> to make sure patients understand the material and also for <strong>breaking myths<\/strong> <strong>about diabetes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The material is contained in eight chapters:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>I have diabetes, what is that?<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Good and bad habits in diabetes<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>I watch my sugar<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Good food: what to eat to be okay?<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Weight Issues<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Let\u2019s move: Physical Activity<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>I take my medicine correctly<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>What happens if I do not take care of myself?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>All the material was designed so <strong>diabetics and their family members<\/strong> understand the disease, decide to change their lifestyles, learn to better self-care and have the knowledge to control their disease.<\/p>\n<p><strong>G\u00e1nale a la Diabetes<\/strong> has no cost and is available through any mobile device and computer with internet access. It will also be used in primary care clinics of the <strong>Ministry of Health of Mexico<\/strong>. It is already being used within the <strong>National Strategy for the Prevention and Control of Overweight<\/strong>, <strong>Obesity and Diabetes<\/strong>, in mutual support groups of the <strong>National Nutrition Institute<\/strong>, and with the Latino population of the <strong>Mayo Clinic<\/strong> in Minnesota, as well as in local distribution channels of the Hispanic population in the entire central area of Rochester.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, &#8220;there are already other joint collaborations with <strong>Mayo Clinic<\/strong>, such as \u2018<strong>Ask the Expert<\/strong>\u2019, which consists of an online system for general practitioners which will be part of the <strong>CASALUD Model<\/strong>. There is also an educational information exchange between <strong>ClikiSalud<\/strong>, the communication portal of the Foundation, and the Mayo Clinic\u2019s platform and vice versa, &#8220;said <strong>Dr. Hector Gallardo<\/strong>, Director of Operational Solutions at the Carlos Slim Foundation.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the first <strong>Diploma for Training Community Educators on Diabetes<\/strong> is being created. These technical educators will be very important in their communities. Without being doctors or nurses, they will be able to collaborate on protecting <strong>diabetics\u2019 health<\/strong>, in conjunction with health professionals. This diploma will be available in <strong>Pieenso<\/strong>, educational online platform of the <strong>Carlos Slim Foundation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8221; Beat Diabetes,&#8221; the first audiovisual educational materials in Spanish for people living with diabetes and health professionals engaged in care of it.
