Cost of Diabetes $174 billion: Total costs of diagnosed diabetes in the United States in 2007 $116 billion for direct medical costs $58 billion for indirect costs(disability, work loss, premature mortality) After adjusting for population age and sex differences, average medical expenditures among people with diagnosed diabetes were 2.3 times higher than what expenditures would be in the absence of diabetes

National Diabetes Program Framework Prevent Diabetes Prevent the complications, disabilities and burden associated with diabetes Eliminate diabetes-related health disparities Maximize organizational capacity to achieve the National Diabetes Program goals
State Diabetes Prevention and Control Programs (DPCP) Policy and Environmental Change Three Intervention Areas Creating supportive community environments to help people take responsibility for their health Health Systems Change Improving use and delivery of quality clinical preventive services to promote health and improve disease detection and management Community and Clinical Linkages Building a stronger connection between clinical and community settings; implementing community programs like the National Diabetes Prevention Program to improve quality of life and reduce health care costs Improve A1C, Blood Pressure, Cholesterol and Smoking (ABCS)
Identifying Solutions
Diabetes Stocks and Flow Map
Strategy #1: Improve quality of clinical care for people with and at risk for diabetes to improve control of ABCS Policy-related Strategies: Support implementation of policies within health care organizations that contribute to and help sustain quality care improvements for people with diabetes/pre-diabetes. Support implementation or maintenance of evidence-based reimbursement strategies and policies (e.g., reduced patient insurance copayments; public insurance reimbursement of medications and testing supplies; physician reimbursement incentives and performance-based payment; value-based insurance designs; assistance for un- or underinsured patients with diabetes.) Clinical/Health Systems-related Strategies: Promote the adoption of models to improve delivery and quality of care in clinical settings (e.g., Patient Centered Medical Home, Planned Care Model). Communication/Media-related Strategies: Support health communication efforts that reinforce the interventions listed above to improve quality of clinical care for people with and at risk for diabetes.
Strategy #2: Increase access to sustainable selfmanagement education and support services for people with diabetes to improve control of ABCS Policy-related Strategies: Support implementation of policies that promote financial sustainability/reimbursement for DSME/CDSM programs. Support implementation of policies that promote financial sustainability/reimbursement for CHWs involved in providing selfmanagement education and support services for people with diabetes. Clinical/Health Systems-related Strategies: Expand the role of allied health professionals (e.g., pharmacists, nurses, community health workers [CHWs]) in providing diabetes selfmanagement education (e.g., Asheville Model). Communication/Media-related Strategies: Support health communication efforts that reinforce the interventions listed above to increase access to sustainable self-management education and support services for people with diabetes.
Strategy #2 (cont.): Increase access to sustainable self-management education and support services for people with diabetes to improve control of ABCS Community-related Strategies: Expand reach/spread of diabetes self-management education (DSME) and chronic disease self-management support (CDSM) programs in community settings to reach vulnerable populations with greatest diabetes burden/risk. Support implementation of policies/environmental supports within worksites that contribute to improved control of A1C, blood pressure, and cholesterol, and promote tobacco cessation among people with diabetes. Increase access to tobacco cessation services for people with diabetes who smoke (e.g., quitlines, etc.).
Strategy #3: Increase access to sustainable, evidence-based lifestyle interventions to prevent/delay onset of type 2 diabetes among people at high risk Community-related Strategies: Increase access/availability and use of the 16-session core and 6- session post-core lifestyle program as an intervention targeting populations with multiple diabetes risk factors including but not limited to women with previously diagnosed gestational diabetes. Facilitate access to safe, attractive, and affordable places for people with prediabetes or multiple diabetes risk factors to engage in physical activity, including but not limited to promotion of workplace policies and programs that increase physical activity. Policy-related Strategies: Partner with employers and health plans to offer the 16 session core and 6 session post-core lifestyle program as a covered benefit to prevent or delay onset of diabetes.
Strategy #3 (cont.): Increase access to sustainable, evidence-based lifestyle interventions to prevent/delay onset of type 2 diabetes among people at high risk Clinical/Health Systems-related Strategies: Implement systems to increase provider referrals of people with prediabetes or multiple diabetes risk factors to sites providing the 16 session core and 6 session post-core lifestyle intervention program.
