Diabetes Control Program

The Diabetes Control Network® is a twelve-month educational program sponsored by Pfizer Inc. that was initiated in 2001. This education includes a monthly newsletter, an educational book about Diabetes, pill containers, and many other useful items that could improve the participant’s knowledge and compliance in conjunction with the care from a primary care provider. In addition, participants receive regular individual phone support from a WHP RN Disease Manager to assist with compliance in self-care measures, medication adherence, and reinforcement of physician treatment plans. At the conclusion of this program, a post-test relating to the participant’s disease will be sent for their completion. This result will be compared to the pre-test, which the participant completes at the initiation of the program. Test results will be evaluated to determine the level of increase in the participants' knowledge and self-management as a result of the program.
