This page is intended to spread awareness regarding the prevalence of diabetes in our community. There is an increase in the number of persons who are being diagnosed with diabetes, thus an educational webpage will benefit the community.

We will be talking about diabetes so that you can understand what this disease is and how to manage having it. We will also be talking about treatment and lifestyle changes which have to be made to prevent this disease from getting worse and or leading to complications. We will be providing information about nutrition and support as well. This information is for you and you may take anything with you and apply it to your lifestyle hoping that you are empowered to prevent metabolic diseases such as diabetes.

To the left you will notice buttons which link to other pages on the site. On these pages you will find easy to understand information about diabetes, diabetes management, and treatment.

Kristie Burns and Shardae Joy are third year nursing students in the BSN program at Kwantlen University College. We have created this webpage as an assignment for our nursing inquiry course. We feel it is important to use new methods of inquiry to spread the word about diabetes into the cyber world. Understanding that most medical textbooks, pamphlets and webpage’s are difficult to understand we have created a webpage with basic knowledge about three types of diabetes, and their treatments and much more. We hope that you find our information helpful and again if you have any further questions please contact a health care professional, do not just assume. Thank you for visiting our webpage
