IS053 - ECHO study - Delivering tele-education on diabetes to primary care physicians in underserved areas (ID 261)
Abstract
Abstract Body
Many people with diabetes do not receive care at a diabetes center. The ECHO model is a tele-education program developed at the University of New Mexico. Teams at Stanford University and the University of Florida developed an ECHO Diabetes program to improve care provided by primary care providers to people with T1D and intensively managed T2D in California and Florida. Goals included addressing disparities and the urgent needs of complex patients across the lifespan. In this presentation, data will be reviewed on experiences with recruitment (with a focus on reaching those people with diabetes under-represented in research), disparities experienced by people with diabetes in our study, primary care provider perspectives, use of diabetes coaches, and financial considerations of starting an ECHO Diabetes program.
IS064 - Bridging disparities in type 1 care in the US (ID 285)
Abstract
Abstract Body
The American Diabetes Association and the International Society of Pediatric and Adolescent Diabetes advocate (evidence grade level A) for the use of automated insulin delivery for all people with type 1 diabetes and other types of insulin-deficient diabetes who are capable of using the device safely. Data from programs designed to identify and reduce disparities in care for people with type 1 diabetes in the US will be reviewed.
