Below is a description of the workshops carried out, with the program of each and the list of participants.

DESG Expert Meeting for drafting five new Teaching Letters

desg-2002-01-celano_photo

25-30 /1 /2002, Celano (AQ). From 1983 to 1988, the DESG produced a series of 20 teaching letters consisting of about four pages each, in ‘the Medical Letter’ format.

Updating was started in 1995, and publication reached n. 25.  

This expert meeting aimed at producing by group work five new Teachig Letters, highlighting several aspects of TPE, which either had not yet been considered specifically, or deserved consideration from another point of view.  Participants were 23 doctors, nurses, dieticians, psychologists, all experts in TPE, coming from 13 different countries. 

As a result of 5 days’ work in small groups using Metaplan first, and then computers, five new Teaching Letters were drafted, entitled: ‘26. Education to the Use of Hi-Tech Devices’, ‘27. Physical Activity and Diabetes’, ‘28. Emotional Intelligence in Diabetes Care’, ‘29. Quality of Life, an Outcome in Diabetes Education’, ‘30. Assessing and Improving Quality in Diabetes Education’.

During the meeting, the writing was interspersed with interactive sessions facilitated, among others, by Michele Loiudice, expert in health administration, and Vincenzo Di Bonaventura, actor and acting teacher.

Below the final Teaching Letters, as well as the workshop program and the list of participants can be downloaded.   ⇓

2-7 /11 /2002, Celano (AQ). Participants were 50 members of the DESG from 28 Countries.

During the meeting, main lectures were devoted to an update about: weight and eating control (Massimo Cuzzolaro, psychiatrist in Rome, AM, e Alain Golay, MD in Geneva); the role of exercise (Pesach Segal, MD in Israel, Alain Golay, e Ilana Harman-Boehm, MD in Israel); techniques for COH counting (Godfrey Xuereb, expert dietician in Jamaica); learner-centered education (AM); intensive insulin treatment with pumps, continuous BG monitoring and closed-loop systems (Nicoletta Sulli, pediatrician in Rome).  Group works were then run to develop educational guidelines derived from new evidence, and seek the most effective ways to educate people with diabetes accordingly. Sessions of experiential learning were also run on each topic. 

During a special lecture, Marco Peruffo, the first person with type 1 diabetes to reach the top of a ‘8000’, mount Cho-Oyu (8201 m), without oxygen bottles and without high altitude porters, told participants his life story.

Main lectures were devoted to an update of our knowledge about:  metabolic effects of exercise (Pierpaolo De Feo);  techniques for COH counting and its advantages (Godfrey Xuereb, Despina Varakla); insulin treatment with different devices(Ramiro Antuna); a European framework for diabetes (Anne Felton); skills for the help relationship (AM); mountaineering and quality of life (Marco Peruffo); congruence between verbal and non-verbal communication (Caroline Simonds, who also illustrated her work as a clown in pediatric hospitals in Paris). Group works on relevant educational strategies were then performed.  Jean-Philippe Assal presented his movie on the teaching of gondola rowing in Venice: Gondoles et Gondoliers.

The participants experienced during a few days insulin injection, SBGM and CHO counting, and Donatella Bloise presented a report of their comments the end of the meeting.
