Diabetes Management

As we ease into the new year, the Skokomish Special Diabetes Program for Indians (SDPI) would like to encourage any diabetic or prediabetic members, or any member of the Skokomish community who are at-risk for developing diabetes, to schedule an appointment with their primary care provider for A1C testing on a quarterly basis—that is, once every three months.

Doing so allows you and your provider to stay on top of your diabetes management routine & allows you to get out in front of many symptoms of that may result from diabetes. In addition, you are encouraged to complete bloodwork related to diabetes management at least once a year. This gives you and your care team a more finely tuned look at your diabetes management and helps to better determine which medications or lifestyle practices are positively or negatively impacting your ability to manage your diabetes.
