"A serving of rice providing 90 grams of carbohydrates will break down to about the same amount of sugar found in 22 teaspoons of sugar." - healthyeating.sfgate.com
"The average American is consuming 22 teaspoons a day. That's about three times what's recommended," says Laura Schmidt of the University of California, San Francisco, School of Medicine. -www.npr.org
I knew bread, pasta, rice all contains carbohydrates which turns into sugar, but did not know the exact translation. So it turns out one serving of rice is equivalent to 22 teaspoons of sugar. Apparently, this is 3x the recommended amount. At home, I eat rice breakfast, lunch and dinner...that's 3 servings per day! 0.o
This week I created a survey which will be used to help me get a better understanding of my audience. The survey consisted of very simple yes and no questions. I wanted the survey to be easy to do and would not take a lot of the nurses time since they will be helping me with this. I am hoping to use the information as a baseline and serve to guide my focus in the project.
My goal is to create a video that is both simple to understand and effective in delivering the message. The key is to be effective. If the patient can walk out of the clinic and understand just a few key points about diabetes, I would consider that a success.
Currently, I want to focus on education and prevention. I have a few ideas that may need guidance. Anyone who is reading this blog, please feel free to give me any suggestion. It will be greatly appreciated! =)
Next Monday, I will be meeting with a team to carry out my sketches. I keep telling myself, no pressure....no pressure...ha!
