Diabetes HELP

In Kaplan, LA, the Diabetes HELP program is dedicated to enhancing the health and well-being of Louisiana Medicaid recipients living with diabetes. We provide essential diabetes self-management education to empower participants through practical knowledge and support. Our program encourages collaboration among patients, pharmacists, physicians, and healthcare teams, fostering a community of care. In small group settings, participants learn vital skills for managing their condition, including coping strategies, nutrition, physical activity, recognizing symptoms of blood sugar fluctuations, understanding long-term complications, and medication management. While the Diabetes HELP program complements regular physician care, it serves as a vital resource for education and support, ensuring that individuals with diabetes have the tools they need to thrive. Rooted in the Diabetes Initiative framework by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, our mission is to promote effective self-management and improve quality of life for those affected by this condition.
