The American Medical Association and the Centers for Disease Control are supporting physicians, care teams and patients to prevent diabetes.

Use this guide to help your patients delay or prevent the onset of type 2 diabetes

Prediabetes is a health condition characterized by blood glucose levels that are higher than normal, but not high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes. Prediabetes increases the risk for type 2 diabetes, heart disease and stroke.

Prediabetes is treatable, but only about 10 percent of people who have it are aware that they do. Left untreated up to

National Diabetes Prevention Program (National DPP) led by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

As part of the National DPP, the American Medical Association (AMA) and the CDC are collaborating to create tools and resources that care teams can use to identify patients with prediabetes, and refer eligible patients to in-person or online diabetes prevention programs.

Physicians and care teams from a diverse group of practices helped the AMA and the CDC create the tools in this guide, and have used them in their own practices to:

• Screen and identify patients for prediabetes • Refer patients to diabetes prevention programs • Create feedback loops, linking the patient’s progress in the diabetes prevention program back to the practice

Part of a national movement

To achieve CDC recognition as part of the National DPP, programs must provide evidence they are following a CDC-approved curriculum and achieving meaningful results with patients. These programs are based on research showing that a year-long, structured lifestyle change intervention reduced the incidence of diabetes by 58 percent among adults with prediabetes and by 71 percent in those aged 60 years or older.

These programs are successful in part because they require only moderate weight loss to achieve preventive health

How does a diabetes prevention program work?

Diabetes prevention programs that are part of the National DPP use lifestyle change interventions that target improving diet, increasing physical activity and achieving moderate weight loss.

The goal for each participant is to lose ≥5% of body weight by:

• Progressively reducing dietary intake of calories and fat through improved food choices• Gradually increasing moderate physical activity (e.g., brisk walking) to ≥150 minutes per week• Developing behavioral problem-solving and coping skills

Features include:

• A year-long structured program (in-person group, online or distance learning) consisting of: – An initial six-month phase offering at least 16 sessions over 16–24 weeks – A second six-month phase offering at least one session a month (at least six sessions)• Facilitation by a trained lifestyle coach• Use of a CDC-approved curriculum • Regular opportunities for direct interaction between the lifestyle coach and participants• An emphasis on behavior modification, managing stress and peer support

Who is eligible for referral to a diabetes prevention program? To be eligible for referral, patients must:

• Be at least 18 years old and• Be overweight (Body Mass Index (BMI) ≥24; ≥22 if Asian) and• Have a blood test result in the prediabetes range within the past year: – Hemoglobin A1C: 5.7–6.4% or – Fasting plasma glucose: 100–125 mg/dL or – Two-hour plasma glucose (after a 75 gm glucose load): 140–199 mg/dL or• Be previously diagnosed with gestational diabetes and• Have no previous diagnosis of diabetes

Physicians and other health care providers should also use their independent judgment when referring to a diabetes prevention program.

You can prevent type 2 diabetesTest your patients for prediabetes and refer those at risk to an evidence-based diabetes prevention program

You likely know which of your patients is at high risk for type 2 diabetes. Until now you may not have had a resource to help them stop the progression from prediabetes to diabetes. Now, you do.

The American Medical Association and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have created a toolkit that can help physician practices screen and refer patients to evidence-based diabetes prevention programs without adding a burden to your practice. Visit preventdiabetesstat.org to learn more.

• •

National Diabetes Prevention Program (National DPP). • Counsel your patients that prediabetes is a potentially reversible condition, and one that you can help them

– Screening and Identifying patients for prediabetes – Referring them to a program that is part of the CDC’s National DPP

This program is evidence-based

• The diabetes prevention program is a lifestyle intervention based on research funded by the National Institutes of Health that showed, among those with prediabetes, a 58 percent reduction in the number of new cases of diabetes overall, and a 71 percent reduction in new cases for those over age 60.

• These results were achieved through reducing calories, increasing physical activity, and a weight loss of just 5 to 7 percent of body weight—10 to 14 pounds for a person weighing 200 pounds.*

• Force (thecommunityguide.org) now recommends combined diet and physical activity promotion programs like the National DPP, for people at increased risk of type 2 diabetes.

Program overview

• The program empowers patients with prediabetes to take charge of their health and well-being. • Participants meet in groups with a trained lifestyle coach for 16 weekly sessions and 6–8 monthly follow-up sessions. • These are NOT exercise classes. At these sessions patients learn ways to incorporate healthier eating and moderate

physical activity, as well as problem-solving, stress-reduction and coping skills into their daily lives.

See next page to determine which of your patients is eligible for the diabetes prevention program.

In the average primary care practice it’s likely one-third of patients over age 18, and half over age 65, have prediabetes.

1 in 3 U.S. adults has prediabetes. Most don’t know it. Are you at risk?

You may have prediabetes and be at risk for type 2 diabetes if you:

• Are 45 years of age or older • Are overweight • Have a family history of type 2 diabetes • Have high blood pressure• Are physically active fewer than three times

per week • Ever had diabetes while pregnant (gestational

diabetes) or gave birth to a baby that weighed more than 9 pounds

Prediabetes can lead to serious health problems

Having prediabetes means your blood glucose (sugar) level is higher than normal, but not high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes. But, nearly 90 percent of adults who have prediabetes don’t know they have it.

If you have prediabetes and don’t lose weight or increase your physical activity, you could develop type 2 diabetes

that can lead to health issues such as heart attack, stroke, blindness, kidney failure, or loss of toes, feet or legs.

What can you do?

• Talk to your doctor about your risk of having prediabetes.

Here’s the good news

If you have prediabetes, your doctor may refer you to a proven lifestyle change program that can help you prevent or delay getting type 2 diabetes.

The National Diabetes Prevention Program can help!

The National Diabetes Prevention Program (National DPP) uses a program that is proven to prevent or delay type 2 diabetes, and will help you lower your risk by improving your food choices and increasing physical activity.

How does it work? As part of a group in your community or online, you will work with a trained lifestyle coach to learn the skills you need to make lasting lifestyle changes. You will learn to eat healthy, add physical activity to your life, manage stress, stay motivated and solve problems that can get in the way of healthy changes.

Los médicos, los equipos de atención médica y los pacientes cuentan con el apoyo de American Medical Association y de los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades a fin de prevenir la diabetes.

Uno de cada 3 adultos estadounidenses tiene prediabetes. La mayoría de ellos no lo saben. ¿Tiene usted este riesgo?

Es posible que tenga prediabetes y riesgo de tener diabetes tipo 2 si usted:

• Tiene 45 años o más• Tiene sobrepeso• Tiene antecedentes familiares de diabetes tipo 2• Tiene presión arterial alta• Hace actividad física menos de tres veces por semana• Alguna vez tuvo diabetes mientras estaba embarazada

(diabetes gestacional) o tuvo un bebé que pesó más de 9 libras (4 kilos) al nacer

La prediabetes puede provocar problemas de salud graves.

Tener prediabetes significa que su nivel de glucosa (azúcar) en la sangre es mayor de lo normal, pero no es lo suficientemente alto como para diagnosticarle diabetes. Sin embargo, casi el 90 % de los adultos que tienen prediabetes no lo saben.

Si usted tiene prediabetes y no baja de peso ni aumenta su actividad física, podría tener diabetes tipo 2 en el término de cinco años. La diabetes tipo 2 es una afección grave que puede provocar problemas de salud, como ataque cardíaco, accidente cerebrovascular, ceguera, daño al riñón o pérdida de los dedos de los pies, los pies o las piernas.

¿Qué puede hacer?

• Hable con su médico sobre su riesgo de tener prediabetes.

Esta es la buena noticia

Si usted tiene prediabetes, su médico puede remitirlo a un programa de cambios en el estilo de vida, de eficacia comprobada, que puede ayudarlo a prevenir o retrasar la aparición de diabetes tipo 2.

¡El Programa Nacional de Prevención de la Diabetes puede resultar de ayuda!

El Programa Nacional de Prevención de la Diabetes (National Diabetes Prevention Program, National DPP) utiliza un programa que se ha comprobado que previene o retrasa la aparición de diabetes tipo 2, y que lo ayudará a reducir su riesgo mejorando sus elecciones de alimentos y aumentando la actividad física.

Prediabetes means your blood glucose (sugar) level is higher than normal, but not high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes. This condition raises your risk of type 2 diabetes, stroke and heart disease.

What can you do about it?

The good news is that there’s a program that can help you. The National Diabetes Prevention Program, led by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), uses a method proven to prevent or delay type 2 diabetes.

By improving food choices and increasing physical activity, your goal will be to lose 5 to 7 percent of your body weight—that is 10 to 14 pounds for a person weighing 200 pounds.

These lifestyle changes can cut your risk of developing type 2 diabetes by more than half.

How does the program work?

As part of a group, you will work with a trained diabetes prevention coach and other participants to learn the skills you need to make lasting lifestyle changes. You will learn to eat healthy, add physical activity to your life, manage stress, stay motivated and solve problems that can get in the way of healthy changes. The program lasts one year, with 16 sessions taking place about once a week and six to eight more sessions meeting once a month. By going through the program with others who have prediabetes you can celebrate each other’s successes and work together to overcome challenges.

Some insurance plans will cover the cost of the program. Check with your insurance provider to see if it is covered. Also, some places that provide the program will adjust the fee you pay based on your income.

Why should you act now?

Without weight loss and moderate physical activity, many people with prediabetes will develop type 2 diabetes within

lead to health issues such as heart attack, stroke, blindness, kidney failure, or loss of toes, feet or legs. NOW is the time to take charge of your health and make a change.

So you have prediabetes … now what?





La prediabetes significa que su nivel de glucosa (azúcar) en la sangre es mayor de lo normal, pero no es lo suficientemente alto como para diagnosticarle diabetes. Esta afección aumenta su riesgo de diabetes tipo 2, accidente cerebrovascular y enfermedad cardíaca.

¿Qué puede hacer al respecto?

La buena noticia es que existe un programa que puede ayudarlo. El Programa Nacional de Prevención de la Diabetes, dirigido por los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades (CDC), utiliza un método que se ha comprobado que previene o retrasa la aparición de diabetes tipo 2.

Al mejorar sus elecciones de alimentos y al aumentar la actividad física, su objetivo será perder del 5 % al 7 % de su peso corporal, es decir, de 10 a 14 libras (4.5 a 6 kilos) en el caso de una persona que pesa 200 libras (90.70 kilos).

Estos cambios en el estilo de vida pueden reducir su riesgo de tener diabetes tipo 2 a más de la mitad.

¿Cómo funciona el programa?

Como parte de un grupo, usted trabajará con un instructor sobre prevención de la diabetes capacitado y con otros participantes a fin de aprender las habilidades que necesita para hacer cambios en su estilo de vida que sean duraderos. Aprenderá a alimentarse en forma saludable, a incorporar actividad física a su vida, a manejar el estrés, a mantenerse motivado y a resolver problemas que pueden interferir en los cambios saludables. El programa dura un año y consta de 16 sesiones que se realizan alrededor de una vez a la semana y de seis a ocho sesiones más en las que se reúnen una vez al mes. Al avanzar en el programa junto con otras personas que tienen prediabetes, pueden celebrar los logros mutuamente y trabajar en forma conjunta para superar los desafíos.

Algunos planes de seguro cubrirán el costo del programa. Verifique con su proveedor de seguro para ver si está cubierto. Además, algunos lugares que ofrecen el programa ajustarán el costo que usted pague en función de sus ingresos.

¿Por qué debería tomar decisiones en este momento?

Si no pierden peso y no hacen actividad física en forma moderada, muchas personas con prediabetes tendrán diabetes tipo 2 en el término de cinco años. La diabetes tipo 2 es una afección grave que puede provocar problemas de salud, como ataque cardíaco, accidente cerebrovascular, ceguera, daño al riñón o pérdida de los dedos de los pies, los pies o las piernas.

Point-of-care prediabetes identification

Communicate with your local diabetes prevention program.

Contact patient and troubleshoot issues with enrollment or participation. At the next visit, ask patient about progress and encourage continued participation in the program.Adapted from: New York State Department of Health. New York State Diabetes Prevention Program (NYS DDP) prediabetes identification and intervention algorithm. New York: NY Department of Health; 2012.

Order one of the tests below:• Hemoglobin A1C (HbA1C)• Fasting plasma glucose (FPG)• Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT)

If no: Patient does not currently meet program eligibility requirements

MEASURE

Diagnostic test Normal Prediabetes DiabetesHbA1C(%) < 5.7 5.7–6.4 ≥ 6.5

Fasting plasma glucose (mg/dL) < 100 100–125 ≥ 126

Oral glucose tolerance test (mg/dL) <140 140–199 ≥ 200

PARTNER

ACT

RESULTSYES

If patient is age ≥18 and does not have diabetes, provide self-screening test (CDC Prediabetes Screening Test or ADA Diabetes Risk Test)

If self-screening test reveals risk, proceed to next step

NOReview medical record to determine if BMI ≥24 (≥22 if Asian) or history of GDM*

Determine if a HbA1C, FPG or OGTT was performed in the past 12 months

Refer to diabetes prevention program, provide brochure.

Consider retesting annually to check for diabetes onset.

Encourage patient to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Continue with exam/consult. Retest within three years of last negative test.

Confirm diagnosis; retest if necessary.

Counsel patient re: diagnosis.

Initiate therapy.

NO

YES

*History of GDM = eligibility for diabetes prevention program

Method 1:

Download and display patient materials

have them available in the waiting room or during consult.

MeasureStep 1 – During check-in: If age ≥18 and patient does not have diabetes, give him/her the “CDC Prediabetes Screening Test” or American Diabetes Association “Diabetes Risk Test”. After patient completes the test and returns it, insert completed test in the paper chart or note risk score in the electronic medical record (EMR). Screening test can also be mailed to patient along with other pre-visit materials.

Step 2 – During rooming/vitals: Calculate the patient’s body mass index. Most EMRs can calculate BMI automatically. Review

Step 3 – During exam/consult: prediabetes.

If the blood test results do not indicate prediabetes: Encourage the patient to maintain healthy lifestyle choices. Continue with exam/consult.

ActA. If the patient screens positive for prediabetes and has BMI <24 (<22 if Asian):

– So you have prediabetes … now what?”). Review the patient’s own risk factors.

– Emphasize the importance of prevention, including healthy eating, increased physical activity, and the elimination of risky drinking and tobacco use. (Visit the National Diabetes Education Program’s GAME PLAN to Prevent Type 2 Diabetes for additional patient resources.)

B. If the patient screens positive for prediabetes and has BMI ≥24 (≥22 if Asian):

– Follow the steps in “A” above, discuss the value of participating in a diabetes prevention program, and determine the patient’s willingness to let you refer him/her to a program.

– If the patient agrees, complete and send the referral form to a community-based or online diabetes prevention program, depending on patient preference.

–

Step 4 – Referral to diabetes prevention program:conventional fax (over a phone line) or secure email. Complete the referral form and submit to a program as follows:

A. If using a paper referral form, send via fax (over a phone line) or scan and emailB. If the referral form is embedded in your EMR, either fax (over a phone line) or email using the EMR – Some diabetes prevention programs can also receive an e-fax (over the Internet)


PartnerStep 5 – Follow-up with patient: Contact patient and troubleshoot issues with enrollment or participation. At the next visit, ask patient about progress and encourage continued participation in the program.

Referring patients to a diabetes prevention program


Retrospective prediabetes identification

Query EMR or patient database every 6–12 months using the following criteria:

A. Inclusion criteria: – Age ≥18 years and – Most recent BMI ≥24* (≥22 if Asian) and – A positive lab test result within previous 12 months: • HbA1C 5.7–6.4% (LOINC code 4548-4) or • FPG 100–125 mg/dL (LOINC code 1558-6) or • OGTT 140–199 mg/dL (LOINC code 62856-0) or – History of gestational diabetes (ICD-9: V12.21; ICD-10: Z86.32)

B. Exclusion criteria: – Current diagnosis of diabetes (ICD-9: 250.xx; ICD-10: E10.x, E11.x, E13.x and

O24.x) or – Current Insulin use

Generate a list of patient names with relevant information

Use the patient list to:

A. Contact patients to inform of risk status, explain prediabetes, and share info on diabetes prevention programs, and/or

B. Send patient info to diabetes prevention program provider – Program coordinator will contact patient directly, and

C. Flag medical record for patient’s next office visit

Discuss program participation at next visit

MEASURE

ACT

PARTNER

* These BMI levels reflect eligibility for the National DPP as noted in the CDC Diabetes Prevention Recognition Program Standards and Operating Procedures. The American Diabetes Association (ADA) encourages screening for diabetes at a BMI of ≥23 for Asian Americans and ≥25 for non-Asian Americans, and some programs may use the ADA screening criteria for program eligibility. Please check with your diabetes prevention program provider for their specific BMI eligibility requirements.

– 23 –


Method 2:

Step 1 – Query EMR or patient database

MeasureQuery your EMR or patient database every 6–12 months using the following criteria:

A. Inclusion criteria:

– Age ≥18 years and – BMI ≥24 (≥22 if Asian) and – A positive test result for prediabetes within the preceding 12 months: • HbA1C 5.7–6.4% or • Fasting plasma glucose 100–125 mg/dL or • Oral glucose tolerance test 140–199 mg/dL or – Clinically diagnosed gestational diabetes during a previous pregnancy

B. Exclusion criteria:

– Current diagnosis of diabetes or – Current Insulin use

Generate a list of patient names and other information required to make referrals:

– Gender and birth date – Email address – Mailing address – Phone number

ActStep 2 – Referral to diabetes prevention programA. Contact patients via phone, email, letter or postcard to explain their prediabetes status and let them know about the

diabetes prevention program.

B. Send relevant patient information to your local (or online) diabetes prevention program coordinator and have him/her contact the patient directly (may require Business Associate Agreement https://download.ama-assn.org/resources/doc/prevent-diabetes-stat/x-pub/sample-business-associate-agreement.pdf ).

C.


Partner

– If the patient is participating, discuss program experience and encourage continued participation – If the patient has declined to participate, stress the importance of lifestyle change and continue to encourage

participation (use the handout “So you have prediabetes … now what?”)

These codes may be useful to report services/tests performed to screen for prediabetes and diabetes.

* Preventive codes 99381-99397 include counseling and cannot be combined with additional counseling codes. If significant risk factor reduction and/or behavior change counseling is provided during a problem-oriented encounter, additional preventive counseling may be billed. In this case, modifier 25 code may allow for payment for both services, although this may vary by payer. Reimbursement for this code is not guaranteed.

† Must be billed with an ICD code indicating a BMI of 30 or greater. Medicare does not allow billing for another service provided on the same day.
