Diabetes complications

The course aims to help learners assess diabetes complication risk factors, monitor blood glucose, ketone, lipid levels, and blood pressure, calculate body mass index, and interpret the measurements. The course teaches skills such as conducting tests, understanding risks, self-monitoring blood glucose, and making sense of the collected data. The teaching method involves theoretical explanations, practical demonstrations, and interactive exercises. This course is intended for individuals interested in understanding and managing diabetes complications.
