Hinweis der Redaktion
- Since we have to be careful about the information we provide to children or adolescents, we decided to choose an eighteen year old, African-American female because she is still too young to have had type 2 diabetes (technically) but old enough to get information without consent from a parent. She became inactive after she was not required to take PE anymore in school and after graduating from high school. She needs information because when she went to her doctor by herself for the first time, labs were taken and she was given the bad news that her A1C, blood sugar and cholesterol are all elevated. We also selected this age because of increased frequency among adolescents. In the last two decades, type 2 diabetes, formerly known as adult-onset diabetes, has been reported among U.S. children and adolescents with increasing frequency. But do we really know that she has Type 2 Diabetes and not Type 1? The librarian continues to ask the patron more questions.
- Olivia does not know anything about Diabetes, so a little background information will be given to the patron.
- Librarian : Since you know nothing about Diabetes, let us start with some basic statistics. The government is a great place to start for information about diseases because you are not alone. It is really easy find, first you go to your computer then log on to CDC.gov/Diabetes, this leads you directly to the subject. Besides the wealth of information it provides, you can start with the Data and Trends section. You can also enter your email address to receive updates about Diabetes.
- L: As you can see, we went to the CDC.gov/Diabetes section and found this journal called Diabetes Care. We also noted there were many articles to choose from. Just from these examples you can only imagine the countless number of information available on Diabetes. So feel free to go back in your spare time to review some of these materials. By the way, did you know there was more than one type of Diabetes? The types of Diabetes are labeled as Type 1 and Type 2. Olivia: Maybe, the doctor was trying to tell me but I could not concentrate on what was being said. L: Let me tell you a little bit about both using another resource. Remember the CDC.gov web site lead us to the American Diabetes Association. This gives you a complete breakdown of Diabetes in African American Youth like yourself.
- L: This is what the American Diabetes Association had to say about Type 1 Diabetes. O: You said it was called Juvenile or Insulin Dependent Diabetes. I was prescribed a medication called Metformin. I don’t need Insulin at this time. L: That is good news because as you research more about Diabetes, you will find out what is needed to treat Type 2 Diabetes. Don’t forget to discuss these finding with your healthcare professional. The Web site even has a section for “Recently Diagnosed” patients and like the CDC, you can give them your email address to keep updated.
- L: Next, you can find more supplemental information about Diabetes at the Cochrane Library found online. Some of the information is free and some is pay-per-view. O: You mentioned that some of the books around here can help me, can you tell me about one for now? L: Yes, I will do that right now.
- L: We have many books but the ones that help to break down a subject are the For Dummies book series. It is not looked at as an insult but as a way to help everyone understand a subject. We can reference the series on Amazon.com which is known for its easy to use search box, finding needed books and subjects. Amazon.com is a good segway into the free web which is what most of us are used too. You may know Google because it is the most popular search engine but they have many search engines to choose from, such as Dogpile.com.
- L: You have just been given many resources to help you understand Diabetes. If you need to know more resources and information, especially about Type 2 Diabetes, you can always come back here to the library for more help. Any of our librarians, including me, will always be glad to help you find what you are looking for.
- Sensitive: I am doing an ongoing dialogue in the notes. I have been sensitive by saying how sorry I am to hear her news, sympathizing with her. Culturally Appropriated: Because I am not telling her that she eats only junk food or ethnic foods like fried chicken, pork, etc. Just presenting the facts about diet and exercise in the information presented. Avoiding Providing Medical Advice: Continue to avoid medical advice by referring her to her health care professional and encourage her to do research for herself to learn about the information.
