Zusammenfassung: | Objective: To describe the process of developing and implementing a
workshop on nutrition labeling tailored to the needs of diabetic
patients. Data synthesis: The study was conducted with members of a
diabetes group in Currais Novos/RN. Initially, a review of the existing
legislation on labeling was made in order to identify impact points for
the diabetic patient. Then, the following themes were selected: diet,
light and zero; wholesome food; nomenclature and synonyms to designate
sugar; order of ingredients; instructions for use and serving/portion
size. After that, a visual support material was elaborated for a better
assimilation of information and group activities were devised seeking
to offer experiences that would allow to work on some issues in a more
agile and practical way, favoring the understanding of information. The
individuals actively participated in the activities and also got a
glimpse of how to apply the acquired knowledge to their daily lives.
Conclusion: The workshops contributed to the deepening of knowledge and
the acquisition of skills to handle diabetes, encouraging the
protagonism of patients in relation to dietary care. Given the good
acceptance of this initiative and the power that such type of
information has to improve the quality of life of diabetic patients, it
is expected that similar activities are included more often in the
repertoire of health care services.
