Description
Diabetes is largely a preventable and manageable chronic disease. People with well-managed diabetes have better clinical outcomes and reduced medical costs. Since diabetes is mainly a self-managed disease, the cornerstone for treatment is diabetes self-management education/training. The exact numbers of people who receive this traianing in Arizona are unclear, but numbers are below the Healthy People 2010 goal of 60% of people with diabetes receiving formal education/training. Medicare covers it and estimates that only about one percent of beneficiaries with diabetes utilize this service.
