The American Dietetic Association (ADA) also has many diabetes resources, some of which are appropriate for ESL and low-literacy:

We have Spanish language resources, as well:

Hi Yuri,

No need to be sorry about changing the topic! But if you change the
subject line, it's easier to find the information later.

Here's some other resources:

www.learningaboutdiabetes.org

http://www.healthliteracy.worlded.org/docs/elpaso/ 

http://diabetes.niddk.nih.gov/dm/ez.asp

Good luck!

Sorry for changing the topic discussion, but can somebody share some
feedback as to what type of health literacy resources will be good for a
diabetic conference, which will target the lay community (diabetic
diagnosed)with low education and economic status in the border Texas
region?

I wanted to share about an alliance between the CDC and a couple of
other groups. I believe the idea is to promote healthy habits at the
local level by offering incentives for all communites around the nation.
This will bring information to people where they live make it more
accessible. 

Check it out and share your thoughts:
