Diabetes HELP

Diabetes HELP, based in Alexandria, LA, is dedicated to enhancing the health and well-being of Louisiana Medicaid recipients living with diabetes. Our program offers valuable diabetes self-management education in supportive small group settings, where participants can learn essential skills for managing their condition. We facilitate meaningful interactions between patients, licensed pharmacists, and healthcare professionals, fostering collaboration for improved health outcomes. Through our educational sessions, individuals gain critical insights into diabetes, including nutrition, physical activity, medication management, and recognizing symptoms of fluctuating blood sugar levels. While we emphasize patient education and support, Diabetes HELP complements, rather than substitutes, regular medical care. Rooted in the framework of the national Diabetes Initiative by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, we strive to empower individuals in their journey towards effective diabetes self-management and better overall health.
