Outcomes Subjects who took the Program, when compared to those who did not, demonstrated significant improvements in exercise, cognitive symptom management, communication with physicians, self-reported general health, health distress, fatigue, disability, and social/role activities limitations. They also spent fewer days in the hospital, and there was also a trend toward fewer outpatients visits and hospitalizations. These data yield a cost to savings ratio of approximately 1:4. Many of these results persist for as long as three years.*** Studies by others have reported similar results

Living a Healthy Lifestyle: The Role of CHWs in Preventing Diabetes through Family Connection Mar 25, 2021
Using a family-centered approach to promote a healthy lifestyle
CHWs are also able to conduct home visits and speak one-on-one with participants on the importance of proper nutrition, physical exercise, and disease management and include the whole family unit for support. CHWs leading diabetes programs encourage parents towards better nutrition options based on their available resources, food options, and exercise options to reduce screen time on digital devices. CHW’s encourage the whole family unit to make small changes in diet and exercise for their overall health. Regular exercise benefits people with diabetes to manage their sugar levels and weight management as well as these benefits listed below.
Overall, CHW interventions have demonstrated success in improving health outcomes among individuals diagnosed with diabetes and support at-risk individuals to prevent the development of the condition.
