Local collaboration targets new care for diabetics: The Bowman Gray School of Medicine of Wake Forest Uni versity has received a $469,785 grant from the Kate B. Reynolds Charitable Trust to establish a two-year program to help 1 3(K) local diabetics, most of whom are poor an\l elderly.. In addition to improving quality of life, the project seeks to reduce disease complications, hospital admissions and financial burdens, including burdens on the patient and burdens on the community, said Carolyn Pedley, M.D., principal investigator and assistant professor of internal medicine/gerontology. The new Bowman Gray ini tiative is a collaboration with the YWCA of Forsyth County, the Forsyth County Health Depart ment and Reynolds Health Cen ter; which is owned and operated by the county. About 90 percent ot the patients in the program have non-insulin dependent diabetes, which is associated with obesity and lack of exercise. "Exercise offers the greatest potential to help these patients avoid complications that can result in blindness, amputation, kidney failure and heart attack," said Geraldine Zurek. M.Ed., project investigator. "However, concerns about safety and finances prevent many if not most, of these patients from get ting the exercise they need." The average income for participants is less tharL$7.Q(X) a year. The YWCA provides schol arships and transportation so qualified patienisjcan take part in planned and structured exercise. The Health Department provides diabetes and nutrition educatiiQi. as vsc11 as a "sittcivi/.e exercise program. Reynolds Health C'en ter provides medictrl supplies so participants v\ho are exercising can .monitor their blood gluccwe levels. ?? A case manager will mett regularly one-on-one with all 1,300 diabetics in the program^' make assessments, evaluations and referrals. - - The case-manager vwill wdfk with the patient to develop a spe cific. achievable action plan thnt fosters a sense of mutual respon sibility. *; If the program succeeds Js projected, it has the potential 3<> be expanded to serve patiedls w ith other chronic diseases, such . as high blood pressure arid heart disease.
