Diabetes HELP

Diabetes HELP in Bogalusa, LA is dedicated to enhancing the health and quality of life for Louisiana Medicaid recipients living with diabetes. Our program offers a comprehensive diabetes self-management education initiative that empowers participants through quality education and collaborative care among healthcare professionals, including pharmacists and physicians. In small group settings, individuals learn essential self-management skills, engage in discussions about their condition, and receive insights on topics such as nutrition, physical activity, medication review, and coping strategies. While our program does not substitute regular physician care, it provides vital resources for navigating diabetes, fostering a community-focused approach to managing this chronic condition. Rooted in the framework of the Diabetes Initiative by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, we prioritize support that enhances self-management for better health outcomes.
