Evaluation Upon arrival, the members of the senior

center told us that the majority of the people present already had type 2 diabetes

Seemed irritated that we were interrupting their Bingo game “I’m not going to learn anything I don’t already

know.” Based on the feedback received by

participants: Processed knowledge and asked intelligent

questions Provided real-life situations

Future Recommendations Because the main meal the seniors eat is

provided by the Senior Center through the government, we would suggest taking this factor into account when planning future interventions

Because of the overall age of our audience, a program could be planned to increase exercise and an active lifestyle for seniors.

These seniors could also benefit from knowledge about different disease processes
