Abstract
Glycemic control and lowering HbA1c levels is paramount for medical providers to prioritize due to the rising prevalence of diabetes mellitus in the Central Valley. Previously, specific dietary interventions have proven to be effective in significantly decreasing glycemic levels over time.1 Additionally, lifestyle changes obtained from health education sessions provided similar positive outcomes for diabetic patients.2
• Diabetic patients in Selma-Highland and Selma-Rose United Healthcare Clinics (UHC), are referred to nutritional programs with one-on-one sessions to create individualized plans. We performed a comparative analysis to assess how referral to these programs affected patient outcomes.
