Diabetes Death Rates
This chart from the CDC MMWR shows age adjusted death rates from diabetes in the United States from 1979-2006. The chart shows deaths per 100,000 population for white and black males and females. How would you use this information in an e-learning lesson on diabetes? Is it relevant information for first responders, EMTs, and paramedics? What roles can prehospital providers play in reducing the death rate from diabetes?
