Adverse childhood experiences (ACE) are associated with an increased risk of diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and a variety of other health consequences for adults. This session reviews how diabetes care and education specialists can provide screening, assessment, and trauma-informed care to individuals who experienced ACEs and are living with toxic stress.  We will explore strategies to address ACES and improve outcomes for individuals and communities. Throughout, we will focus on supporting self-care with a focus on recognizing and promoting resilience.

Coach Beverly walks participants through the 3 Steps to DeFeet Amputation; Assess, Screen, Report. She will provide simple and clear instructions on how to assess and inspect feet, along with risk assessment and action steps. We will share free teaching tools, strategies, and documentation forms adapted from the Lower Extremity Prevention Program (LEAP) that you can immediately implement in your practice setting. Topics include: Effective foot assessment made easy How to use a monofilament to assess sensation Using screening form to report findings According to a 2019 article published in Diabetes Care, the rate of amputations in the U.S. is increasing. Each year, people with diabetes experience approximately 200,000 non-traumatic amputations. African Americans are 4 times more likely to experience diabetes-related amputation than whites. In the United States, every 17 seconds someone is diagnosed with diabetes, and every day 230 Americans with diabetes will suffer an amputation. We can make a difference and help reverse this trend.  Basic foot care assessment and education can reduce the risk of amputation by over 50 percent. By assessing and screening for loss of protective sensation with a monofilament, diabetes healthcare professionals can immediately identify high-risk feet and take steps to protect lower extremities We are excited to share this life-saving information with our community of diabetes advocates.

As educators, advocates, spouses, friends, and providers, our use of language can deeply affect the self-view of people living with diabetes every day. Intentional communication is a powerful tool that can uncover trauma, identify barriers, and move both the provider and person with diabetes toward a greater understanding of the issues involved. The language used in the health care setting is immensely important in determining trust, mutual respect, and meaningful long term relationships. Let’s lift people through our commitment to careful listening. Let’s choose the language that is person-centered and free from judgment. Let’s empower our interactions by identifying and addressing trauma and the impact of social determinants. Many people with diabetes have experienced injustice, trauma, marginalization, and are often struggling with feelings of shame and blame. ⁠Click here to visit our website for more information on Language that Respects the Individual and Imparts Hope #BoardCertificationinAdvancedDiabetesManagement #CertifiedDiabetesCareandEducationSpecialists #CDECoach #BCADM #CDCES #RegisteredDietitian #RegisteredNurse #DiabetesedServices #cdcescoach #diabetesawarenessmonths #pharmacist #diabetesmanagement #training #rn #rd
