Diabetes HELP

Diabetes HELP in Opelousas, LA, is dedicated to enhancing the health and quality of life for Louisiana Medicaid recipients living with diabetes through comprehensive self-management education and invaluable support. Our program fosters collaboration among patients, pharmacists, physicians, and other healthcare professionals, ensuring a holistic approach to diabetes care. We offer small group educational sessions where participants learn vital self-management skills, discuss their experiences, and receive tailored advice from licensed pharmacists and peers. Our curriculum covers essential topics such as understanding diabetes, effective coping strategies, nutrition, physical activity, recognizing blood sugar alterations, management of long-term complications, and medication reviews. While Diabetes HELP supplements traditional medical care, our primary goal is to empower individuals with the knowledge and skills needed to manage their diabetes confidently and effectively.
