TYPE 1 DIABETES (T1D)
Art by Mike Natter
In 2009, 1/518 (2%) youth <20 years had T1D in the US
Between 2002-2012, new cases of T1D in youth increased by:
1.8% each year for all youth
4.2% each year for Hispanic youth
The average cost for a DKA hospital admission = $7,500
In rural areas, there are many barriers to achieving and maintaining good glucose control

DIABETES CONTROL AND COMPLICATIONS TRIAL (1993)
Intensive treatment with the goal of maintaining blood glucose
concentrations close to normal range decreases frequency and
severity of diabetes complications.
More frequent visits = better glucose control =
less long-term issues

SO, HOW DO WE MEASURE UP?

LOW ED/HOSPITAL UTILIZATION
Each year, approximately 7% of patients with T1D are admitted for DKA.
Between 2017 and 2018, 3.3% of our patients with T1D were admitted for DKA.
Between 2017 and 2018, our 30 patients were seen in the ED a total of 2 times for issues related to their diabetes.
IMPROVING ED/HOSPITAL UTILIZATION
According to our Medicaid claims data, between 2017 and 2018, our 15 patients with type 1 diabetes had a:
20% reduction in number of hospital admissions
31% reduction in days spent in the hospital
51% reduction in number of ED visits

DECREASED COST TO THE SYSTEM
For one of our patients with T1D:
2017: 1 ED visit, 1 hospital admission = $3,117 PMPM cost
2018: 0 ED visits, 0 hospital admissions = $459 PMPM cost
For a total cost savings of:$2,558 per month$30,696 per year

Innovative Approaches to Treating Pediatric Obesity:
MEND Family Activity and Nutrition Camp
Kyla James, MPH, MAProgram Coordinator, Family and Child Wellness
El Rio Health
El Rio Health • Federally Qualified Health Center in Tucson, Arizona
• Serve 106,000 patients across 12 clinic sites
• 35,000 pediatric patients
• ≈ 50% of patients are below 100 % of federal poverty level (FPL)
• 25% of patients identify as being best served in language other than English
• El Rio is the only Healthcare for the Homeless grantee in Southern Arizona
• Level 3 patient-centered medical home designation from National Committee for Quality Assurance
Pediatric Obesity Nationally
• Chronic health condition
• Pediatric obesity highest nationally in Hispanic population at 26%
• Adults with obesity have greater risk of Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, some cancers
• Diabetic patient has 2.3 times greater annual cost of care

Pediatric Obesity at El Rio
• 34% El Rio pediatric patients overweight/obese
• 23% of MEND referrals (7-14 years old, >85th percentile BMI) have: prediabetes, elevated blood pressure, abnormal lipid panel, fatty liver disease
• Including asthma, depression, oppositional defiant and anxiety disorders 47% of MEND referrals
• Already have comorbidities
What is MEND?
• Mind, Exercise, Nutrition, Do it!
• Evidence-based family program for patients 7-13 years old, > 85th
percentile BMI, and their parent/guardian
• Activity based: nutrition education, physical activity, behavior change, group support
• Contact hours: 32, over 8-10 weeks, 2x per week
Results
Year One:• 44 referred pediatric patients completed, 116 total completers • -0.05 kg/m2 reduction in BMI
• -17.61 beats per minute reduction in recovery heart rate
• 93% of parents report decrease in soda consumption for whole family
• 83% of parents report increase in fruits and vegetables consumption in children

“At the beginning, this class was really hard for me, reality is hard to accept. The fact that I was feeding my children such horrible food made me feel bad … I am very happy that I stayed. The kids and I have learned a lot. Rodrigo has now taken responsibility for his health, he exercises every day and always tries the vegetables that I cook. Rebeca loves exercise and is always looking for MEND friendly foods and reading labels. This program has made us a healthier family” - parent
“MEND has not been your typical diet classes/camp, for us it was a bonding time to learn how to be creative, supportive and while being healthy. My kids even want to retake the classes!” - parent
Qualitative Results
• Children like the fun and team element of MEND
• Adults like the group support
• Adults like having additional class rather than only being given papers at medical visit they say frequently can not understand
• Reported change in parent-child dynamics
• Increased self-confidence in children

Where we are going
• How do health trajectories change?• Longitudinal tracking in electronic health record
• A1c, blood pressure, hyperlipidemia, depression, medications
• Continued support • Diabetes Prevention Program model
• Family physical activity and Cooking Class
• Longer curriculum to incorporate stress and coping
