Diabetes HELP

Diabetes HELP is dedicated to enhancing the health and quality of life for Louisiana Medicaid recipients living with diabetes in Ferriday, LA. Our program provides essential diabetes self-management education, empowering participants through hands-on learning in small group settings. We foster collaboration among patients, pharmacists, physicians, and healthcare professionals to create a supportive network for managing diabetes. Our educational sessions cover vital topics, including nutrition, physical activity, coping strategies, medication management, and long-term complications. While we emphasize the importance of regular medical care, our goal is to equip individuals with the skills necessary to navigate their diabetes effectively. By utilizing the framework established by the Diabetes Initiative, a project of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, we focus on supporting self-management in the community.
