The Need for Diabetes Education
• “Diabetes is increasing at an alarming rate globally. It is a complex, chronic condition that affects all areas of a person’s life and that requires high quality care. To this end, diabetes education is of critical importance and should be considered an integral part of diabetes prevention and care. Unfortunately this is not the case in many countries of the world where diabetes education is, at best, in its infancy or non-existent. The combination of lack of access to quality medical management and diabetes education leads to poor clinical outcomes, reduced quality of life and high health-related costs due to service utilization and the costs of treatment.”– International Diabetes Federation
• Education and training is key to making this a sustainable program beyond the current grant year.

screen for possible Diabetic Retinopathy on adults with diabetes Take Blood Pressure, Blood Glucose and BMI readings Perform patient navigation services Provide Health Services Information for uninsured and underinsured
participants Conduct Participant Referral Follow up

Year-end Project EvaluationHow many people were screened?
How many people were told to see a health care provider due to abnormal screening results? How many people were given information about local health resources?
How many people followed-up with a health care provider?
How many diabetes education programs were held? How many people attended? What were the pre- and post-test results?
Final Report to LCIF due on 6-22-2013.

Critical components for the success of this project in the future involve/include: Providing diabetes education to Lions to empower them as Diabetes Ambassadors to spread the word.Expanding the network of collaborating local organizations and follow up to build firm relationships for the future. The Problem is too big and the need too great for one organization to handle alone.Interest in 24-A and other Districts across the Multiple to continue what we have started and/or expand it using LCIF Core 4 Grant Funding and other sources of revenue. Establishment of a Diabetes Foundation to insure the needed funds are available to take it to the next level. This is currently under development.
