Lifestyle Change Program to Prevent Type 2 Diabetes

Diabetes is one of the biggest health challenges affecting adults in the United States. About 37 million people have diabetes. About 96 million adults have prediabetes, which puts them at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes. That’s more than 1 in every 3 adults in the United States.

 

Type 2 diabetes is a serious condition that can lead to health issues such as heart attack, stroke, blindness, kidney failure, and lower limb amputation. Having prediabetes means your blood glucose level is higher than normal but not high enough to be diagnosed with diabetes. Without making healthy lifestyle changes, such as losing weight, increasing physical activity, and eating healthier, many people with prediabetes will develop type 2 diabetes within five years.

However, prediabetes is reversible; we can help you make those healthy lifestyle changes.

 

The Care Coordination DPP is a year-long program that meets once a week for sixteen weeks, then once every other week for two months, and then once a month for the last six months—a worthwhile commitment to lower your risk of type 2 diabetes by as much as 58%.

What is the CDPHP® Community Health Project?

CDPHP has partnered with Catholic Charities Care Coordination Services on The Community Health Project, an outreach program that serves portions of Albany, Columbia, Greene, Montgomery, Rensselaer, Saratoga, and Washington counties.

 

This free program is for select CDPHP Medicaid and Child Health Plus members who are underutilizing preventive care services, including cancer screenings, well visits, comprehensive diabetes care, and regular dental care visits. Trained Community Health Workers from Catholic Charities reach out to these members to offer a variety of support services, such as

 

Connecting with a primary care doctor and other preventive health care services

 Scheduling appointments and providing reminder calls

 Coordinating and/or providing transportation

 Offering gift cards as incentives for completing appointments

 Helping members understand and connect to resources available through their CDPHP benefits, including medical and behavioral health case management and tools to stay healthy.
