Hi Everyone! I am new to this discussion page, but have a very important favour! I am currently consolidating for my last year of nursing at a Diabetes Centre, I myself am also a Type One Diabetic. I would like to present to my fellow colleagues a presentation on motivating patients on better blood sugar control, incorporating exercise, healthy eating, as well as other important things that we are always told to "abide by" when we are first diagnosed haha! I would also though thing that it would be advantageous to have personal input whether it be " How you were personally motivated by a health care professional when you were diagnosed", " Outside personally motivation", or " Negative treatment during your initial or current diabetes management" that has lead you to know longer seek treatment or help at a health care agency. There is lots and lots of information regarding motivation in diabetes, but in the end I feel that peoples personal experiences or as I would like to say "the lived experience" are what nurses can relate to as well as learn from most! Thank you so much for your assistance, and if there are any questions I am more than willing to answer them! :)
