Subject: [EXTERNAL] Kickstart Diabetes Self-Care Video Series



We are pleased to share details of a video series highlighting helpful ways to manage diabetes. Please share this information with your colleagues and partners.



Help to Kickstart Diabetes Self-Care

As you know, the uptake of DSMES is an enormous problem. Fewer than 5% of Medicare beneficiaries and fewer than 7% of privately insured people diagnosed with diabetes participate in the first year after diagnosis.



Lack of knowledge in how to perform the many tasks required to manage diabetes can have serious short-term and long-term negative impacts on health and quality of life. People with diabetes need DSMES to learn skills and strategies to manage their diabetes effectively.



Diabetes Kickstart is an animated video series created by CDC to help fill that gap and to raise awareness of and access to DSMES services. The series is designed to:

·        Introduce and explain the key concepts of diabetes management* and emphasize their critical importance to the health and well-being of people living with diabetes.

·        Deliver easily consumable information in an anytime, anywhere format at no cost to viewers.

·        Help people get started with day-to-day diabetes management or help them make changes to enhance management and improve health.

·        Support and increase the visibility of DSMES and help people get more out of DSMES when they participate.



* Based on the ADCES7 Self-Care Behaviors.



How you can help: Consider sharing Diabetes Kickstart<https://www.cdc.gov/diabetestv/diabetes-kickstart.html> with your networks to help disseminate this important series. The Diabetes Kickstart landing page and all 7 videos are tagged for content syndication<https://www.cdc.gov/diabetes/library/socialmedia/Content_Syndication.html>. Any non-CDC website owner or external partner can add the page and videos to their site, simplifying access to the series.
