Do Well, Be Well with Diabetes is a program covering four nutrition and five self-caze management topics. The
program helps people with diabetes learn the skills needed to manage their disease successfully.
The Issue
- 7.7% of Texans 18 years and older have a
diagnosis of diabetes; another 401, 975 are
believed to have undiagnosed diabetes.
- The number of American with diabetes is
projected to increase 43 percent, growing
from 12.1 million to 17.4 million by 2020.
- Health caze costs now average $13, 243 per
person with diabetes, for an annual total cost
of $132 billion in the U.S. - $92 billion (70
percent) for health care and $40 billion (30
percent) in lost productivity.
- Just over 4 percent of the population has
diagnosed diabetes, but almost $1 of every $5
spent on health care is for people with
diabetes.
- Currently, only 7 percent of people with
diabetes aze at recommended levels for blood
glucose, blood pressure, and blood
cholesterol.
- People with diabetes who maintain their
blood glucose, blood pressure, and
cholesterol numbers within recommended
ranges can keep their costs, health risks,
quality of life, and productivity very close to
those without the disease.
Background
- Diabetes occurs when the body does not
make enough insulin, or the insulin it makes
does not work properly.
- While diabetes is not curable, it is
manageable.
- Skills needed to effectively manage diabetes
are well documented.
- Diabetes education is not readily available.
- Burdens of diabetes mismanagement aze
disproportionately borne by those with little
or no insurance coverage, lower literacy, poor
or no English skills, lower educational and
income levels, and poor access to
transportation.
The Educational Program
- Extension health professionals developed Do
Well, Be Well with Diabetes, aloes-cost class
series covering 9 self-caze and nutrition
topics delivered in five sessions.
- Class taterials include a curriculum
consistent with the American Diabetes
Association Standazds of Caze along with
PowerPoint presentations, a complete
marketing packages and an evaluation
program.
- Volunteer local health professions, with
leadership by county Extension agents, use
Do Well, Be Well with Diabetes class
materials to teach the classes.
- The primary goal of the program is to
improve blood glucose management.
