Diabetes HELP

Diabetes HELP is dedicated to enhancing the health and quality of life for Louisiana Medicaid recipients living with diabetes in Saint Amant, LA. Our program provides essential diabetes self-management education, fostering a supportive environment where participants can learn vital skills in small group settings. We emphasize collaboration among patients, pharmacists, physicians, and healthcare professionals to ensure comprehensive care. Through educational sessions, we cover critical topics including an overview of diabetes, coping strategies, nutrition, physical activity, blood sugar symptom awareness, potential long-term complications, and medication management. Our approach is founded on the robust framework established by the national Diabetes Initiative from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, affirming our commitment to empowering individuals to take control of their health while maintaining regular physician care.
