Diabetes HELP

Diabetes HELP in Jennings, LA, is dedicated to enhancing the health and quality of life for Louisiana Medicaid recipients living with diabetes. Our program emphasizes the importance of diabetes self-management education through quality instruction and collaborative care. Participants engage in small group sessions where they develop essential self-management skills and have the chance to discuss their diabetes journey with licensed pharmacists and peers. Our educational offerings cover vital topics such as understanding diabetes, coping strategies, nutrition, physical activity, recognizing the signs of altered blood sugar, and medication reviews. While we do not replace regular physician care, we empower individuals with the knowledge and support they need to manage their condition effectively. Our program is built on the robust framework established by the Diabetes Initiative, a national initiative of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, aiming to promote self-management and improve health outcomes.
