Why is Healthy Living with Diabetes Needed?
• 1 in 12 Americans affected by diabetes• By 2050 there will be 40 million Americans
with type 2 diabetes• WI: 475,000 adults with diabetes and 1.45
million adults with pre-diabetes• Even higher incidence in communities of
color• 25% of Wis. Medicare beneficiaries have type 2 diabetes
12/2013
Consequences of Diabetes• Mortality is twice that of people without
diabetes of similar age• Leading cause of blindness, heart disease, and
stroke – and lower extremity amputations• Very expensive to treat - 2009 Wisconsin data– $4.07 billion in direct health costs– $2.7 billion in indirect costs
12/2013
The Healthy Livingwith Diabetes Program
• Community workshop• For individuals with type 2 diabetes, pre-
diabetes or either who live with or care for or about someone who does
• 2.5 hours/week for 6 weeks• Led by 2 trained co-leaders, 1 with diabetes or
has a connection to someone with diabetes (e.g., caregiver, CDE, etc.)

The Healthy Living with Diabetes Program
• Evidence-based• Meets AoA’s highest standard• Developed by Stanford University’s Patient Education

– pilot-testing– refinement– evaluative researchhttp://patienteducation.stanford.edu/

Program’s Underlying Assumptions
• People with diabetes have similar concerns and problems
• They must deal with both physical symptoms and impact on lives/emotions
• Lay people can teach program as effectively, if not more effectively, than health care professionals
• The program process is as important, if not more, than substance
12/2013
Researched and ProvenStudy Results show:
• improved diabetes self-management self-efficacy • decreased symptoms of hypo and hyperglycemia • improved HbA1C• decreased health distress• improved communication with physicians• improved self-rated health• decreased emergency room visits
12/2013
Works well with Existing Diabetes Education Programs and Certified
Diabetes Educators• Group problem-solving compared to expert and
student approach• No individualized medical advice = more
discussion time for daily living with diabetes• Some similar topics; approach very different• Peer-led education very motivating• Health team prescribes “what” needs to be done;
workshop gives peer support to “how”

someone who has type 2 diabetes or pre-diabetes
