Diabetes HELP in Carencro, LA, is dedicated to enhancing the health and quality of life for Louisiana Medicaid recipients living with diabetes. Our program provides essential diabetes self-management education, fostering a supportive community where participants can learn critical skills in small group sessions. We prioritize the collaboration of care among patients, pharmacists, physicians, and healthcare professionals, ensuring a holistic approach to managing diabetes. Through our educational sessions, participants explore a range of vital topics including nutrition, coping strategies, physical activity, and medication management, all designed to empower individuals in their journey toward better health. While our program complements regular physician care, our focus is on imparting the knowledge and skills necessary for effective diabetes management. We developed our framework through the guidance of the Diabetes Initiative from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, underscoring our commitment to fostering self-management and comprehensive support.
