SDPI Higher Quality Care Update
The Skokomish Special Diabetes Program for Indians (SDPI) would like to remind and encourage Skokomish community members who have been diagnosed as diabetic or prediabetic to schedule with the Wellness Center for labs. It is recommended to get routine bloodwork on a quarterly (every three months) basis in order to best track and manage prediabetes and symptoms of diabetes.
Additionally, we ask that any Skokomish community members with Continuous Glucose Management (CGM) equipment e.g. Freestyle Libre or Dexcom speak with Wellness Center staff about setting up automated data reporting between your CGM equipment and the Wellness Center. Doing so allows for our clinical staff to keep a more current reference point for your glucose levels, and by extension allows us to provide you with a higher quality of care.
We will be outreaching to the Skokomish Wellness Center’s diabetic and prediabetic patients for quarterly labs, but should any additional diabetes-related concerns arise please feel free to reach out to the SDPI Coordinator:
