There are twelve videotapes on the education Channel 40 related to diabetes patient education. The first video is considered basic information necessary for all persons with diabetes. The remaining topics may be recommended to patients based on the nurse's or dietitian's assessment of educational need. Also on this web site are corresponding outlines that may be printed as a reference for the patient/family.

These videos are shown twice a day, and the viewing times are listed in the table below.
