Native American Health Center Inc. (NAHC) proposes the implementation of its NAHC SDPI project for 2023-2027. The SDPI project will provide diabetes treatment and prevention services to urban American Indian/ Alaska Native (AI/AN) community members residing in NAHC's geographic catchment area located in Oakland and San Francisco California. The identified SDPI best practice is Glycemic Control. The identified RKM is number and percent of urban AI/AN who are diagnosed with diabetes, whose most recent hemoglobin (Hgb) A1c is less than 8.0% at NAHC. Key activities to improve RKM for best practice are as follows: 1. Diabetes Care Days; 2. Medical Nutrition Therapy by Registered Dietitian (RD); 3. Case Management by Certified Diabetes Care & Education Specialist (CDCES); and 4. Coordinate with Recipe 4 Health Program (group health promotion classes, individual health coaching and produce delivery). Prevention activities include: 1. Maintain an accurate and updated “Pre-Diabetes Registry” for urban AI/AN; 2. Create and facilitate a “Pre-Diabetes Care Day” for urban AI/AN at NAHC’s Oakland and San Francisco clinics; and 3. Maintain or increase the percentage of urban AI/AN without a diagnosis of pre-diabetes or diabetes, and who have not had their blood sugar assessed within the last year, who are screened for type 2 diabetes using the ADA's Risk Test. NAHC will provided direct treatment services, prevention, and community based engagement, education, and outreach to over 250 community members per project year.
