At least 621,000 Texans are unaware they have diabetes.
Each year, Texans with diabetes spend over $20 billion in health care.
“I spent $200 a week or two ago that I didn’t have to get my meds,” Allen said. “I paid part of my electric to get my meds.” That’s why the clinic has several programs to help lessen that financial burden and get patients healthier at the same time. One of those programs is a shared medical appointment. Individuals with diabetes have one visit where they meet with their doctor, a mental health professional and a nutritionist alongside other patients with diabetes.
“They are able to come in for less visits. It's more cost effective for them, less copays. That’s what we’re trying to do for them,” Archila said. in which patients meet with a dietitian and registered nurse for an hour. They learn about ways to cook vegetables, snacks when you’re on the go and exercises one can do throughout the day.
