Implementing a Diabetes Pre-screening and Diet Management program at a local independent pharmacy

Background: Type 2 diabetes is one of the most prevalent chronic diseases in West Virginia. However, this high risk population may still experience underdiagnosis due to lack of patient awareness, lack of easy access to healthcare, and underserved populations in rural areas. The Diabetes Pre-screening and Diet Management program is designed to provide preventive screening services, tools, and ongoing support to assist patients affected with or at high risk for type 2 diabetes in the suburban and rural areas of South Charleston and Dunbar, WV.
