This self-paced instruction is designed to teach you the pathophysiology, assessment, and management of diabetes mellitus (DM).
You will be able to navigate through topics listed in the side "Contents" bar in a nonlinear manner, jumping to topics of interest, or you can choose to use the "next" button on each page to travel linearly through the site. Pay particular attention to words that are linked - many of them are links to their definitions in the Glossary (also available at any time from the top menu bar). When you have completed this instruction, you will have a working knowledge of the nutritional care of diabetic patients.
Take the quiz, accessed via the top menu bar, as a pretest to determine which topics you need to study most, or as a posttest to evaluate what you have learned. Calculators can be accessed via the top menu bar to assist you in calculation problems. Specific calculators for BMI and BEE are also accessible here.
