Diabetes HELP

Diabetes HELP in Baker, LA is dedicated to enhancing the health and well-being of Louisiana Medicaid recipients living with diabetes. Through our comprehensive diabetes self-management education program, we empower participants to take charge of their health by providing vital education and supportive resources in an encouraging group setting. Our program fosters collaboration among patients, pharmacists, physicians, and the broader healthcare team to ensure a seamless approach to diabetes care. Participants engage in interactive discussions, gaining essential skills and knowledge in areas including nutrition, physical activity, coping strategies, monitoring blood sugar, and medication management. While not a substitute for regular physician visits, Diabetes HELP equips individuals with practical tools to manage their diabetes effectively and improve their overall quality of life. Developed using the best practices established by the Diabetes Initiative of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, our program prioritizes meaningful self-management support for all participants.
