Diabetic Interventions

An evidenced based Diabetes prevention and treatment program was among the first measurable interventions for PCIH as it entered into Guatemala in 2010. The original goal was to offer the community the following:

1. Reduced priced Diabetic medications and supplies.

2. A monthly Diabetic Club that included glucose testing.

3. Community based Diabetes prevention lecture series.

4. A program that was supplemented by the home visit from PCIH community health workers.

PCIH along with its consulting model, is in the planning states for the creation of a state of the art full scale Diabetic treatment center.
