It's the best video available for low literacy culturally diverse audiences. It includes lots of real people and how they cope with diabetes. It covers nutrition, exercise, monitoring, medications, pattern management, problem solving, lifestyle changes and emotions, and maintaining your good health. We use this video in our diabetes self-care kit for a low literacy audience to help them learn self-care. My company offers self-care kits on diabetes and 9 other chronic illnesses that are taylored to limited literacy populations -- healthcare providers perscribe the kits and we send them out. Let me know if you would like a sample of the video to review.

There is a flurry of activity in my state trying to create such a resource, and I'm thinking somebody else surely has already invented this wheel. Thanks, Debbie Deborah W.
