[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 954127, member: 88961"] To be perfectly honest? I think the flow chart is fine for HCPs or other highly (if not hyper) motivated individuals. For an ordinary, lay person, there's too much info on one slide and too much jargon. I can completely understand how there could be a glazed look and a fast-track to change the subject. If you wanted to use that concept with a lay persona, I'd "carve" the slide into probably 3 "layers" (rather than all the boxes and arrows). The layers would be demonstrating the effort required, functional impact and the result. At the highest, highest level, I'd be thinking aloing the lines of: Effort = Adjust diet Functional Impact: Altered digestive function and feeling of wellbeing Result: Improved blood sugar scores, improved digestive function and weightloss, with overall increased feeling of wellbeing. Now, to be fair to me, that's utterly from the hip, over under 5 minutes, but do you see what I mean? Of course, using the original with your doctor could be fine, if he has a decent understanding of the workings of our (diabetic) metabolisms. Obviously there are a 1000 potential steps of simplicity through to complexity in between my ultra simplified to the original. [/QUOTE]
