Abstract

Combining diabetic education and exercise sessions with provider visits engages the patient-provider dyad in holistic management that addresses standards of care. Participants demonstrated statistically significant decreases in hemoglobin A1C, blood pressure, and LDL. This replicable, cost-effective, efficacious healthcare delivery model maximizes provider impact, while fostering mutually-beneficial relationships in underserved populations.
