Diabetes HELP in Jonesboro, LA, is dedicated to enhancing the health and quality of life for Louisiana Medicaid recipients living with diabetes. Through our diabetes self-management education program, we provide essential support and quality education, fostering collaboration among patients, pharmacists, physicians, and a comprehensive healthcare team. Our participants engage in small group sessions, where they learn vital self-management skills, discuss their experiences with licensed pharmacists, and connect with others facing similar challenges. While Diabetes HELP complements regular medical care, it empowers individuals with critical knowledge about managing their condition. Our educational topics include an overview of diabetes, coping strategies, nutrition and diet, physical activity, recognition of altered blood sugar symptoms, long-term complications, and medication reviews. Developed under the framework of the Diabetes Initiative by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, our program emphasizes the importance of self-management and community education for those living with diabetes.
