Identifying Gaps in Your Diabetes Services to Improve Reach and Impact

Episode Summary

In 2020, today’s guests received a grant from the ADCES Foundation to support their research looking at the role of peer facilitators in diabetes self-management services. Beyond their findings from this ADCES Foundation-supported work, Dr. Nancy Allen and Dr. Ana Sanchez-Birkhead share their expertise and perspectives on how to identify the gaps in your diabetes services, and how to bridge these gaps using innovative solutions and new members of the care team, like peer facilitators.
