Choose from the two following options:
Option A: Type 1 Diabetes
Your educational resource should address the following questions:
- How does society view Type 1 diabetes (what society thinks it is versus what it actually is, common beliefs and practices)?
- What are some signs and symptoms?
- How can patients comply with treatment regimens?
- How can patients make the right decisions to live a healthy life?
- What is the impact of Type 1 diabetes on health care resources?
Option B: Type 2 Diabetes
Your educational resource should address the following questions:
- How does society view Type 2 diabetes (what society thinks it is versus what it actually is, common beliefs and practices)?
- What are some preventive measures?
- What are some signs and symptoms?
- How can patients make the right decisions to live a healthy life?

Create a 350- to 700-word educational resource as a way to share this information. Examples of educational resources include:
- A social media page

Note: Consider the audience you are presenting to. You will need to craft your educational resource in an appropriate and understandable way for your identified audience.
