This artifact is found on youtube which is a video platform for education and recreational use.

The target audience for this artifact is diabetics to encourage coordination of care with their providers and encourage the use of continuous glucose monitoring systems.

The information presented in the video is evidence based especially considering diabetes care can be catered to the patient and their needs. It is evidence based that A1C is an accurate representation of glucose control and working with your provider increases success.

The content of this video is brief and to the point encouraging patients to seek support and provided plain language tips for monitoring glucose levels.

This video offers a presenter that is a woman of color and a doctor in medicine. She encompasses DEI along with diabetes does not discriminate although African Americans are at a higher risk.

This artifact is the Dexcom website, a continuous glucose monitor company.

The target audience for this page of dexcom's website is type 2 diabetics and providers.

The information included on this webpage is not evidence based in nature as it is sourced from surveys. The patient sample size being 310 and professionals 111. According to Type 2 diabetes and the use of Real-Time Continuous glucose monitoring there is data to support the use of continuous glucose monitors for the overall reduction in HgbA1c.

The information on this webpage encourages lifestyle changes and tight glycemic control however its main focus is geared to selling their product, the Dexcom CGM.

This webpage displays one person of color, and 4 women and two men total. I would not say this page offers much support for DEI.

This artifact is a meme from the internet.

The target audience for this meme would appear to be providers but may also be directed at patients.

This meme is not evidence based due to its joking nature although, a HgbA1c greater than 6.5% is diabetic (A1C Test for Diabetes and Prediabetes, 2024).

This meme does not do a great job at improving public health but may bring attention to HgbA1c levels and ignite inquiry about understanding what that means.

This meme includes a woman of color and a male.

I found this artifact on Spotify, it is an educational podcast for diabetics.

The target audience for this podcast is diabetic patients.

This can promtoe public health because people can listen to this podcast while going for a walk and benefit from learning about managing glucose levels while still enjoying the food you are eating.

This podcast is easily accessible so even marginalized communities can access it without paying for spotify or apple music and find it online.

I found this blog through an internet search and it is based out of Ohio.

The target audience of this blog is diabetic patients looking for relatable stories about diabetes diagnosis.

The information presented in this blog is written by Brad Lucas, MD who was part of the Buckeye Health plan at the time of publishing this post. This information is generic but evidence based and focuses more on the pathophysiology of diabetes and in turn offering support for better management.

The content of this blog is factual and encourages life style changes such as a healthy diet and regular exercise. This blog also addresses the mental wellbeing of a patient with a diabetes diagnosis which is extremely important.

This blog addresses inclusion as part of DEI, offering emotional support, although it could improve by discussing literacy gaps and healthcare access.

This page is targeted at patients and providers.

The information on this page is evidence based and has studies to support their data and claims. It also presents their information alongside current knowledge about management of diabetes.

This article acknowledges that patients have variabel experience and knowledge about diabetes management although the article could have done a better job clarifying their clinical studies and if they included a diverse population.

This artifact is based in evidence based practice as adipose tissue increase the risk of type 2 diabetes. The speaker mentions insulin resistance being a major risk factor of coronary artery disease along with the breakdown of carbs, protein and fat ratio.

This video can improve public health by helping providers investigate the claims and findings in the video. this video can ignite the spirit of inquiry for patients to learn better glucose control.

This video encourages low carb which is great but may not be accessible for certain demographics and income brackets.
