The X-PERT Diabetes Programme is a specially designed patient education programme to provide people with the knowledge, skills and confidence necessary to self-manage their diabetes. It is not a set of strict instructions that dictate behaviour change and then measure success based on levels of compliance, but a new, tried and tested approach to patient education based on the theories of empowerment and patient activation. Participants with diabetes and a supportive family member or friend are invited to attend six, 2½ hour sessions of empowering education, discovery learning, demonstration and discussion. Each participant gets a copy of the “Diabetes Health Profile” which they can complete themselves to monitor their progress by self-testing and obtaining the relevant information from their diabetes care team. Participants are also invited to annual update sessions. What the six week plan involves Week 1 • What is diabetes? • Digestion & blood glucose • Healthy lifestyle for looking after diabetes • Health results - what do they mean? • Medications for diabetes • Care planning: lifestyle experiment to address the diabetes health profile Week 2 • Eating for good health and blood glucose control • Energy balance • The benefits of physical activity • Weight management and the 500 calorie deficit • How to assess what you’re eating • Care planning: lifestyle experiment to explore your diet Week 3 • Carbohydrate - an important nutrient in diabetes • What are carbohydrate (starchy & sugary) foods? • The quantity (amount) and quality (type) of carbohydrate foods • What carbohydrates are you having? • Care planning: lifestyle experiment to explore the carbs I am eating Week 4 • Reading and understanding food labels • Understanding the traffic light system and guideline • daily amounts (GDAs) • What do the nutritional claims mean? • Care planning: lifestyle experiment to explore the foods you buy Week 5 • Low and high blood glucose levels • Possible complications of diabetes • Prevention of complications • Importance of regular check ups • Living with diabetes: work, driving, insurance, travel..... • Care planning: lifestyle experiment to keep healthy Week 6 • X-PERT Game • Questions and answers • Comments and feedback • Care planning: to take charge and self-manage your diabetes For more information take a look at our website at www.xperthealth.org.uk
