Living with diabetes

The course aims to educate learners about diabetes by defining the condition, explaining the parts of the body and hormones involved, discussing diagnosis methods, classifying different types of diabetes, and exploring the role of genes and risk factors. Students will learn about the pancreas, gut, liver, muscle, fat, insulin, and glucagon in relation to diabetes. The course covers Type 1 diabetes, Type 2 diabetes, gestational diabetes, and other forms of the condition. The teaching method involves a structured approach with modules on different aspects of diabetes, including interactive content and references for further reading. This course is designed for individuals interested in understanding diabetes, its diagnosis, classification, genetic factors, and associated risks.
