This week class was called Prevention and Maintenance of Hypertension and Diabetes & Stroke Prevention. I only have 7 classes, so they are very condensed. After planning for this class, I never thought I was going to be able to fit everything in 50 minutes. I cut it down to the very basics and made handouts. I went to the National Stroke Association website stroke.org and printed out copies of their Stroke 101 Fact Sheet. I also made my own pamphlet for them. I called it “Just a Few Bites on Blood Pressure, Diabetes, and Stroke.” I decided on its name because everything we were going to be talking about had a lot to do with healthy eating and lifestyle modification. I also used information from the Mayo Clinic and The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. I made a power point to use in class too. This class had some difficult information, but I tried to make sure we covered all the basic concepts. My main concern was making sure that the information was relevant to their situation.
