Welcome
Diabetes can be hard to manage. This resource guide has been
developed by the Cabarrus Wellness Coalition to assist you with
managing your type 2 diabetes. We have designed this resource
guide to make it easier for our community members to get the
help they need to lead healthy lives.
The Cabarrus Wellness Coalition is a taskforce of Healthy
Cabarrus through Cabarrus Health Alliance in partnership with
the Cabarrus County Southeastern Diabetes Initiative (SEDI) and
Community Transformation Grant Project. The coalition was
formed as a result of the 2012 Cabarrus County Community
Needs Assessment and partners with local organizations to
improve the health and wellness of Cabarrus County residents
with a specific focus on obesity and diabetes prevention and
treatment.
Thank you to all of our community partners for their support and input on this project.

How to Use this Resource Guide
The Diabetes Resource Guide has information for community members
about services, programs, and resources that support the prevention,
management, and treatment of diabetes. While most of these services
are available to the whole community, because SEDI clinical
resources are primarily geared to assist underserved populations,
we have chosen to focus on increasing awareness of resources that
can be used by uninsured, underinsured, and Medicaid/Medicare
patients. The guide will be updated annually. For a complete list of
healthcare providers and pharmacies in Cabarrus County, view the
Cabarrus County Health Resource Inventory at

ABCs of Diabetes
Knowing the Facts
Diabetes mellitus (MEL-eye-tus), or simply diabetes,
is a chronic (lifelong) disease where blood glucose
levels, also called blood sugar, are high because the
body cannot make insulin or cannot use it in the right
way. Insulin helps us use blood sugar for energy.
Diabetes can affect many parts of your body, like your
heart, mouth, eyes, ears, and feet. Getting regular
medical tests can help you and your healthcare team manage your diabetes to help
prevent complications (problems) or find issues early when they are most treatable.
Working with your doctor
You can work with your doctor to make sure that you are getting the right tests to watch
your type 2 diabetes and avoid problems.
Below are some tests about which you should talk to your healthcare team. These are
known as the ABCs of diabetes. Together, you can decide what your targets should be.
A1C
The A1C test measures your average blood sugar control for the past 2 to 3 months. It
measures the percentage of glycated hemoglobin (GLI-kay-ted HE-meh-GLO-bin) or
HbA1c, in the blood. It does not replace testing blood glucose daily.
Recommended A1C Target: Less than
Blood Pressure (BP)
Blood pressure is the force of blood flow through your blood vessels. Having your blood
pressure checked regularly and taking action to reach your blood pressure target can
prevent or delay diabetes problems.
High blood pressure causes your heart to work harder. It also raises your risk for heart
attack, stroke, eye problems, and kidney disease. High blood pressure is a problem that
won't go away without treatment and changes to your diet and lifestyle.
Recommended BP Target: Below 120/80 mmHg

ABCs of Diabetes
Cholesterol
Cholesterol is a form of fat that is carried through the blood in two kinds of bundles called
lipoproteins. It is important to have healthy levels of both.
1. HDL cholesterol - Called the “good” cholesterol. It may lower your risk for heart attack.
2. LDL cholesterol - This is sometimes called the “bad” cholesterol. It can clog arteries and
cause heart problems.
Triglycerides (try-GLISS-er-ides) are another kind of blood fat that raise
your chances for a heart attack or stroke if your levels are too high.
Normal artery
Recommended Cholesterol Targets
HDL Cholesterol: More than 40 mg/dl for men
More than 50 mg/dl for women
LDL Cholesterol: Less than 100 mg/dl
Triglycerides:
Less than 150 mg/dl
Cholesterol build-up
Cholesterol is influenced by blood sugar and blood pressure. If your
Narrowed artery
blood sugar and blood pressure are high, your cholesterol may be
high, too. Some steps that you can take to lower your cholesterol are:
 If you smoke, get help to quit.
 Lose weight if needed.
 Exercise most days of the week.
 Eat a low-fat, low-cholesterol diet.
 Increase monounsaturated fats in your diet. These are canola oil, avocado oil, or olive oil.
 Your doctor may also prescribe cholesterol-lowering medicine.

Coping with Diabetes
Diabetes does not define you; it is just a small part of what makes you unique.
While working with your healthcare team is important in managing your diabetes,
it is also important to prepare yourself mentally to deal with it. Diabetes can be
scary. It can bring about many feelings like denial, guilt, anger, frustration, or even
depression. These feelings are normal. It is okay to feel all of these emotions and
many more.
Remember that it is never too late to jump start diabetes self-management. The
key is to be gentle with yourself because you are your best resource for managing
your diabetes.
The way that you deal with your emotions is called coping. There are many things
that you can do to cope with type 2 diabetes—both negative and positive.
Negative coping strategies like smoking, drinking excessive amounts of alcohol,
overeating, or avoiding people may cause more health problems. Below are some
examples of positive ways to cope.
Positive ways to cope include:
 Having a positive support system like your family, friends, or church group
 Finding things that make you laugh
 Focusing on things that make you happy
 Attending group support sessions with people who understand you
 Building healthy relationships
 Increasing physical activity—try riding bikes with a friend or walking your dog
 Starting a new hobby like reading, cooking, scrap booking, knitting, or journaling
Local Coping Services are listed on the next page.

Eye Care
Diabetes can harm your eyes. It can damage the small blood
vessels in your retina, the back part of your eye. This is called
diabetic retinopathy (ret-i-nop-ah-thee). Diabetes also
increases your risk of having glaucoma (glaw-koh-muh),
cataracts (kat-uh-rakts), and other eye problems.
Signs of Problems
You may not know there is any damage to your eyes until the problem is very bad.
Your doctor can catch problems early if you get regular eye exams. If your doctor
finds eye problems early, drugs and other treatments may help prevent them from
getting worse.
Preventing Eye Problems
 Control your blood sugar levels
 Control your blood pressure
 If you smoke, get help to quit
Regular Eye Exams
The eye exam may include:
 Adding special eye drops to enlarge
your pupil, called dilating your eyes,
so the eye doctor can get a good view
 At times, special photographs of the
back of your eye
Your eye doctor may ask you to come
more or less often than once a year.
Working with existing eye problems
If you already have eye problems, ask
your doctor if you should avoid some
exercises that can strain the blood
vessels in your eyes. These exercises
may make eye problems worse:
 Weight lifting and other exercises that
make you strain
 High-impact exercise, such as football
or hockey
When to Call the Doctor
Call your doctor if:
 You have double vision (you see 2
things when there is only 1)
 You cannot see things on the side of
your field of vision
 You cannot see well in dim light
 You have blind spots
 Your vision is hazy or blurry
 You have pain in your eyes
 You see shadows
 You are having headaches
 You see spots floating in your eyes
Make It Easier for Yourself at Home
 Make sure your home is safe from falls
 Label your medicines with large print
so that you can read them easily
 Ask someone else to give you your
medicines
 Use a pill box with compartments for
days of the week
 Use large print books or read with a
magnifying glass

Ear Care & Hearing
Hearing loss is twice as common in people with diabetes as it is in
those who do not have diabetes. Also, of the 79 million adults
thought to have pre-diabetes, the rate of hearing loss is 30% higher
than in those with normal blood sugar.
How does diabetes contribute to hearing loss?
Hearing depends on small blood vessels and nerves in the inner ear.
Researchers believe that over time, high blood sugar levels can
damage these vessels and nerves, making it harder to hear.
Signs of Problems
For most people, hearing loss happens over time. The symptoms can be hard to
notice. Quite often, family members and friends notice hearing loss before the
person experiencing it.
Common signs of hearing loss include:
 Frequently asking others to repeat what they say
 Trouble following conversations that involve more than two people
 Thinking that others are mumbling
 Problems hearing in noisy places such as busy restaurants
 Trouble hearing the voices of women and small children
 Turning up the TV or radio volume too loud for others who are nearby
Regular Hearing Exams
Your doctor may not always screen for hearing loss during a
physical. Even if your doctor does check for hearing loss, you
may still "pass" the screening test in a quiet exam room. Ask
your healthcare team if you should see an audiologist or EarNose-Throat Specialist (ENT).
When you go to see your audiologist or ENT:
 Tell them that you have diabetes
 Request an Otoacoustic (o-to-ah-ku-stik) Emissions (e-mish-uns) test (OAE) to
check the condition of the small hair cells in the ear

Ear Care & Hearing
Preventing Hearing Problems
 Follow the 80 for 90 rule: listen to headphones at no higher than 80% of the
highest volume for no longer than 90 minutes.
 Protect your ears in noisy situations with earplugs.
 Manage your blood sugar level.
 Clean your ears regularly.
 Do not swab or insert foreign objects into your ears.
 Eat healthy meals with vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and lean meats.

Dental Care
Sugar is present in your saliva, which is the liquid in your mouth that makes it wet.
When diabetes is not controlled, high sugar levels in your saliva help harmful
germs grow, called plaque (plak). Plaque comes from eating foods that contain
sugars or starches. Some types of plaque cause tooth decay or cavities. Other
types of plaque cause gum disease.
Gum disease can happen more often, be worse, and take longer to heal if you have
diabetes. Having gum disease can make your blood sugar hard to control. Treating
your gum disease may make it easier to control your blood sugar.
Signs of Problems
Check your mouth for signs of problems from diabetes. Some of the first signs of
gum disease are swollen, tender, or bleeding gums. Sometimes there are no signs
at all. You may not know you have gum disease until you have serious damage, but
some signs are:
 Pain in the mouth, face, or jaw that does
not go away
 Loose teeth
 Pain when chewing
 Changes in your taste
 Dark spots or holes in your teeth
Healthy gums
Diseased gums
 A sore, or ulcer, that does not heal
Prevent Dental Problems
Your best defense is to see your dentist twice a year for a cleaning and checkup.
You can keep your mouth healthy by taking these steps:
 Keep your blood sugar numbers as close to your target as possible.
 Eat healthy meals with vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and lean meats.
 Brush your teeth at least twice a day with fluoride toothpaste.
 Use dental floss at least once a day.
 If you wear dentures, keep them clean.
 If you smoke, get help to quit.

Dental Care
Regular Dental Exams
 See your dentist two times a year for a cleaning and checkup.
 Talk with your doctor and dentist before the visit about the best way to take care
of your blood sugar during dental work.
 Tell your dentist what medications you take.
 Bring your diabetes medicines and food with you to the dentist’s office if needed.
 Delay any non-emergency dental work if your blood sugar is not under control.
When to Call Your Doctor
Call your dentist right away if you have any signs of mouth problems like:
 Bleeding gums

Foot Care
As a person with diabetes, you are more prone to having foot problems because
diabetes can damage your nerves and reduce blood flow to your feet. If a problem
gets very serious, it can lead to amputation, or removal of the foot. Checking your
feet every day for cuts and other problems is important. Your healthcare team
should check your feet during each visit as well.
Here are some diabetes foot care tips to follow:
1. Examine your feet each day.
2. Wash and dry your feet daily.
3. If you have dry skin, rub lotion on your feet after you wash and dry them, but do
not put lotion between your toes.
4. Take care of your toenails.
5. Protect your feet with shoes and socks.
How to Examine Your Feet
 Check the tops and bottoms of your feet. Use a mirror or have someone else
look at your feet if you cannot see them.
 Check for dry, cracked skin.
 Look for blisters, cuts, scratches, or other sores.
 Check for redness, increased warmth, or tenderness when touching any area of
your feet.
 Check for ingrown toenails, corns, and calluses.
 Do not "pop" blisters or sores, but apply a bandage.
Proper Shoe Choices
The following types of shoes are best for people with
diabetes:
 Closed toes and heels
 Leather tops of the shoes without a seam inside
 At least 1/2 inch extra space at the end of your
longest toe
 Inside of shoe should be soft with no rough areas
 Outer sole should be made of stiff material
 Shoes should be at least as wide as your feet

Healthy Lifestyle
Managing diabetes does not mean dieting or giving up all
of the foods you like. It is about learning to eat in a
healthy way. This may mean making some changes in
what you eat now. When you have diabetes, eating well
takes practice and planning. Eat healthy meals with
vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and lean meats. A
balanced diet includes 5 vegetables & fruits each day.
Combine that with regular physical activity and your
prescribed medications to feel better and stay healthier.
Work with your doctor and/or dietitian to create a meal
plan that:
 Works with your schedule
 Keeps your weight on track
 Improves your blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol numbers
Physical activity is as important as nutrition to prevent and manage diabetes. If
you are new to exercise, start small by using the stairs if you normally take the
elevator or walking around your living room when you are on a phone call. Then,
build up to biking with a friend, walking around the block, swimming, or dancing.
It is recommended to be active for 150 minutes each week. You can reach this goal
in 10 minute segments or in bigger chunks if you have the time.
The largest studies of diabetes prevention, including the US
Diabetes Prevention Program, all used a package of both good
nutrition and physical activity leading to reduction in the risk of
developing type 2 diabetes. For people with diabetes, physical
activity is an important part of controlling blood sugar levels as
well as reducing the risk of problems such as heart attacks and
strokes. Physical activity can also lead to weight loss. This is
important for people with diabetes because being overweight
can reduce the life expectancy of people with type 2 diabetes
by up to eight years!

Sexual Health
Sexual and reproductive health are important parts of life
and relationships. Unfortunately, high blood sugar can
cause problems with your sex organs and sexual
functioning. Both men and women can experience sexual
health problems caused by diabetes.
For Men
In men, diabetes can contribute to low testosterone levels and/or erectile
dysfunction (ED). ED is when a man can no longer have or keep an erection.
Compared to men without diabetes, men with type 2 diabetes are twice as likely to
suffer from low testosterone. This can lead to diminished interest in sex, ED,
reduced muscle mass, depressed mood, or lack of energy. Over time, high blood
sugar can damage blood vessels and nerves. This includes the blood vessels and
nerves in the penis which can contribute to ED. Smoking, being overweight, and
being inactive can also lead to ED.
For Women
High blood sugar can lead to sexual problems in women including diminished
interest in sex, painful intercourse due to vaginal dryness, frequent yeast
infections, and fertility issues. In addition, women with type 2 diabetes who are
thinking about having a baby will need to work closely with their doctor to make
sure their blood sugar is in control the first few weeks of pregnancy all the way
until the baby is born. Having tightly controlled blood sugar will help avoid birth
defects, a premature baby, or a baby that is larger than normal. It may be difficult
to control your blood sugar during times when your hormones are changing, like
during your menstrual cycle, pregnancy, or menopause. Talk with your healthcare
team to make a plan on how to keep your blood sugar in control during these
times.
When to Call Your Doctor
 If you have a diminished interest in sex
 If sex is painful
 If you are planning to become pregnant
 If you are experiencing any of the symptoms listed on this page

Assistance Programs
Prescription assistance may be available to patients who do not have prescription
medication insurance coverage or are having trouble paying for their diabetic
medications.
Online resources can assist the patient in finding the
right patient assistance program. The online
resources include discount cards, health information,
and links to government and community agencies.
Eligibility for patient assistance programs is different for each company. Contact
the companies and complete an application to see if you qualify. Below are some
general requirements:

US resident

Must not have private or public health insurance with prescription coverage
(Medicare or Medicaid)

Have an income less than 200% - 300% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines
Typically, eligibility is denied if:

Patient is eligible for Medicare but not enrolled

Patient is eligible for Medicare Part D but not enrolled
Contact the patient assistance program to see their eligibility requirements.
Each program has different eligibility and financial requirements and they
change periodically.
Some programs need your doctor’s office to help with the application process.
Other programs send medications to your doctor’s office and some send them
directly to your house. You will need to allow time for application approval and
processing.

PATIENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS FOR
DIABETIC MEDICATIONS & SUPPLIES
**New cost-saving program for Medicare**
If you have traditional Medicare and you need diabetic testing supplies, you will need
to find a national mail-order supplier by visiting medicare.gov/supplier or by calling
800-MEDICARE (800-633-4227). They can give you a list of suppliers who are under
contract with Medicare to provide the new prices.
If you prefer getting your supplies locally, you can also get your supplies from a
pharmacy or store that accepts Medicare assignment. Ask your pharmacist if they
accept Medicare assignment before getting your prescription filled. Any pharmacy or
store that says it accepts Medicare assignment can only charge you for any unmet
deductible (Medicare Part B) and your 20 percent coinsurance. Stores and pharmacies
that don't accept Medicare assignment can charge you more.
The cost of diabetic supplies will be the same for mail-order suppliers and pharmacies
or stores that accept Medicare assignment.
The national mail order program applies to people with both type 1 and type 2
diabetes. It covers blood sugar test strips, control solution for the test strips, lancets,
the lancing device and batteries for your blood sugar monitor.
OTHER assistance programs for diabetes medications and supplies that ARE NOT a
part of the new Medicare program are listed below.
