Content For anyone with experience with diabetes, there's nothing new here. For newly diagnosed kids, or kids ready to learn about diabetes, the animations and simple descriptions are more in tune with today's video generation than some pamphlets and books. Within each module are several topics , and the topics contain slides . Think of a slide show, and you've pretty much got it. The nine topics within the Diabetes module cover everything from an explanation of diabetes to proper diet, and each topic has numerous slides.
Most slides have some kind of animation, and all have easy to read text.
The Monitoring module includes eight topics which illustrate how to test with LifeScan's three meters, plus how to use their Penlet II lancing device. The animations here are quite helpful, and even illustrate what the meter's screen will show during testing. Everything here is in the large and well-written User's Manual. The Diabetes Education Module is available for free download from the LifeScan web site . Transitions between the topics within a module is cumbersome, unlike transitions between slides within a topic.
