Planning and Interventions

Health Care Access  Initiate volunteer program that assists Newaygo county residents in choosing a market under the Health Care Act and filing out accompanying paperwork.  Recruit five volunteers willing to assist needy Newaygo county residents with transportation to and from doctors appointments and lab work.  Initiate communication with three pharmacies that may be willing to form a prescription delivery to homes of Newaygo county residents that are unable to pick up their own prescriptions.

Wellness/Nutritional Counseling  Engage at least 20 Newaygo county residents in a healthy eating/wellness class  Nutritional counseling is tailored to meet the needs of the community.  This counseling is tailored to the communities customs and willingness to make change.  Proper nutrition will be addressed.  Nutritional counseling is important for people who are diabetic, pre-diabetic, or anyone wanting information on healthier living.

Wellness/Weight Loss  Weight loss is recommended for people who are either diabetic or pre-diabetic.  Weight loss has been shown to improve insulin resistance (American Diabetes Association, 2008).  Because of the effects of obesity on insulin resistance, weight loss is an important therapeutic objective for individuals with pre-diabetes or diabetes” (American Diabetes Association, 2008).

Wellness/Healthy Lifestyle  “Lifestyle changes characterized by increased energy intake and decreased physical activity appear to have together promoted overweight and obesity, which are strong risk factors for diabetes” (American Diabetes Association, 2008).  Eating healthy can prevent or slow the development of diabetes.  Low carbohydrates, low fat, and calorie restricted diets are effective for controlling diabetes.  “Exercise and physical activity are to be encouraged because they improve insulin sensitivity independent of weight loss, acutely lower blood glucose, and are important in long-term maintenance of weight loss” (American Diabetes Association, 2008).

Diabetic Screening  Genetics can play a roll in the occurrence of type 2 diabetes.  It is important to have your blood checked for diabetes during your annual doctor’s visit.  “The American Diabetes Association recommends testing to detect pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes be considered in adults without symptoms who are overweight or obese and have one or more additional risk factors for diabetes. In those without these risk factors, testing should begin at age 45” (American Diabetes Association, 2008).

Diabetic Teaching  Hold a class for newly diagnosed diabetic patients of Newaygo County with goal of at least 10 patients return demonstrating correct blood check and insulin administration techniques.
