Diabetes Group Visits

Completed

Conditions studied: Diabetes

In brief

This pilot study aims to increase access to diabetes education by delivering it in a culturally-appropriate community setting and by involving different members of the diabetes care team including physicians, diabetes educators, and health promoters/community health workers. Diabetes medical group visits will be held at the Grady North DeKalb satellite clinic the third Thursday of the month starting in October 2009. There will be two cohorts of patients- English speaking patients and Spanish speaking patients. Each group will be scheduled for 4 2-hour group visits throughout a period of 9 months. These visits will be every 8 weeks for each group. During the visit, the patient will be seen by a physician, attend a diabetes education session, re-fill their diabetes medications and receive lab orders.
