Prevent Diabetes STAT: Screen, Test, Act- Today 

National, multi-year initiative called "Prevent Diabetes STAT: Screen, Test, Act - Today" has a goal to raise awareness about prediabetes and to increase screening, testing and referral to evidence-based diabetes prevention programs that are part of CDC's National Diabetes Prevention Program.

Prevent Diabetes STAT has the capacity to bring together front-line health care providers, community organizations, health systems, government, employers, insurers, the public and more to turn the tide on this growing public health issue.

  

1305 and 1422 Federal Funds for DSME and DPP:

Reach out to your state health department/DPCP's in regards to 1305 and possibly 1422 funding! These funding opportunities may be being used in your state to further both DPP and DSME.

Spotlight on AADE's DPP Team

Kalispell Regional Healthcare System

Kalispell, Montana

 

 

The Kalispell Diabetes Prevention Program is based in beautiful Kalispell, Montana. Located in the northwest part of the state, Kalispell is close to Glacier National Park and at the headwaters of Flathead Lake, the largest natural freshwater lake west of the Mississippi. Surrounded by snow-capped mountains, forests and farmlands, it is a wonderful place to call home says Leslie Coates. The Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services initiated the Montana Diabetes Prevention Program in 2008 with money appropriated from the state tobacco settlement. Seven sites within Montana were initially chosen to offer the DPP curriculum, which was based on the program developed at the University of Pittsburgh. Kalispell joined their ranks in 2009 and since then they have offered two cohorts a year in Kalispell and one in the small town of Eureka, next to the Canadian border. When the National Diabetes Prevention Program became available in 2012 they switched to the CDC curriculum and applied for recognition. Kalispell was awarded full recognition in 2014. There are currently 18 grant-funded sites in Montana.   Kalispell is actively recruiting insurance companies and recently Montana Medicaid has started reimbursing for the DPP. Montana Medicaid is now reimbursing in accordance with their fee-for-service schedule. Medicaid pays $21.88 for each of the 16-weekly core sessions attended and $25.00 for each of the 6-monthly post core sessions attended. That money goes directly back into our program's budget where it helps with our sustainability.

Leslie states, "The Kalispell DPP has a goal of graduating 40 participants per year. Like many sites, we struggle with retention especially during the post-core period. We use a combination of incentives, door prizes, and interactive classes to keep participants interested and engaged. For example, once enrolled, participants are given a 16-week membership to the Summit Medical Fitness Center. The Summit is hospital owned and the only certified fitness center in the state. DPP participants enjoy state of the art exercise equipment, swimming pool, therapy pool, and a variety of aerobic classes with Zumba being a crowd favorite. Hopefully, no excuses for not getting 150 minutes of exercise a week, especially in the winter. Another innovative program at the Summit that we have incorporated into the DPP is Journey to Wellness (J2W). J2W is a 90 day program designed to help people break down barriers in their lives that are preventing them from reaching their full potential. Sometime during the post-core period, certified wellness coaches meet with participants on a 1:1 basis and set SMART goals in areas such as exercise, stress management, time management, etc. Participants have an extra level of accountability at a time when it is easier to slip back into old eating habits. Personal coaching makes such a big difference when one is struggling with making lifestyle changes. Yes, the DPP pays the Summit to provide this program (thank you AADE for the extra funds!) but the results are often amazing and lives are transformed. I am a huge fan of wellness coaching. One final program that I'd like to share is our post-core class on Nordic walking. Using walking poles can burn up to 40% more calories and give you a great core workout. Participants spend the entire class learning and practicing the technique of walking with poles and many become converts for life. If exercise is fun, who can resist?

The Flathead Valley is a wonderful year-round vacation spot. The Kalispell Diabetes Care and Prevention Center's DPP would welcome visits from other DPP coaches and we are happy to share our successes, struggles, and progress with everyone."

Thank you Leslie and your team for pioneering the way for DPP sites everywhere!

ASPARAGUS-WHEAT BERRY SALAD with BLUE CHEESE

Yield      5 servings            /              Serving Size        � cup

 

Wheat berries are new to many North Americans, but they've been around for at least 6,000 years. They add a crunchy texture to this salad, along with fiber.

3 cups water

6 fresh asparagus spears, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces

� cup chopped fresh parsley leaves

1 � teaspoons fresh rosemary leaves, chopped, or � teaspoon dried rosemary leaves, crumbled

1 teaspoon lemon zest

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 tablespoon canola oil

� teaspoon salt

� cup (1 ounce) reduced-fat blue cheese, crumbled

 

Directions

  1. Bring wheat berries and water to a boil in a large sauce pan over high heat. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer 50 minutes or until tender.
  1. Add asparagus to wheat berries in saucepan, cover and cook 2-3 minutes or until just tender crisp. Drain wheat berry mixture in a fine-mesh strainer and run under cold water to cool quickly. Shake off excess liquid and place in a medium bowl. Add remaining ingredients, except cheese. Toss gently, yet thoroughly, until well blended. Add cheese and toss gently.
