Service Plan Brief for Diabetes Education and
Coaching Service Idea
Diabetes education and coaching is a service designed to be a continuation of education
after hospital discharge as well as a lifelong resource for counseling and coaching. This service
will be in partnership with the local hospital and physicians will collaborate with service
providers to aid in providing support and personalized care when needed. Diabetes is a chronic
health condition that affects how your body turns food into energy. 34.2 million US adults have
diabetes, and 1 in 5 of them do not know they have it. Diabetes is the 7th leading cause of death
in the U.S. and the number one cause of kidney failure and lower limb amputations. The number
of adults diagnosed with diabetes has doubled in the last 20 years. (What Is Diabetes?, 2020) The
purpose of diabetes education and coaching would be to provide free, ongoing teachings to
prediabetics and diabetics of all ages and empower patients to take control of their health. The
mission of this service is to give patients the tools to succeed in living a healthy lifestyle
alongside their disease and further improve their quality of life. It will do this by offering
teachings to newly diagnosed diabetics on subjects like how to take your blood sugar,
medications, how to administer insulin, signs and symptoms of hypo- and hyperglycemia, meal
plans that are diabetic friendly, and how to be active. It will also give a sense of community and
group support from fellow diabetics and allow patients to make connections with others to aid in
their health journey and cope with the emotional side of diabetes. Coaching will also aid in these
deliverables but will also give the patients a cheerleader and someone to celebrate their successes
with. Often once the patient leaves the doctor’s office or is discharged from the hospital, they
carry the burden of having to navigate this new or unfamiliar world of diabetes alone. This

BRIEF
service plan allows for continuity of care and gives the patient a support system to assist them in
their journey to a healthier life.
Diabetes does not discriminate on who it effects, therefore, the target population for this
service is broad. It is designed to cover individuals of all ages and not only those who are
diagnosed with diabetes but those who are at risk for developing diabetes. Approximately 1 in 3
American adults have prediabetes. More than 84% of individuals with prediabetes don’t know
they have it. Although prediabetes hasn’t reached the cusp to be diagnosed as diabetes yet, it is
still a serious health condition that puts parties at for developing heart disease and stroke. (The
Surprising Truth About Prediabetes, 2020) At this point in a person’s health pathway, being
diagnosed with diabetes can be preventable. Lifestyle modifications are easy ways to turn
prediabetes around and reduce one’s risk of developing diabetes. Such life modifications
include losing weight, maintaining a healthy and balanced diet, and exercising. This service is
important to this category of people because it can educate and coach these individuals on how
to maintain healthy lifestyles and prevent being diagnosed with diabetes. For example, the
proposed service plan will provide classes and coaching on nutrition. This will include meal
ideas (that are budget friendly), local healthy food store options, and foods that promote health
and those to avoid or intake in moderation.
For those diagnosed with diabetes, the service plan can offer many different areas of
education and coaching. These may be after a new diagnosis of diabetes or a continuation of
health promotion while living with diabetes. The service plan will offer one on one education on
how to check capillary blood sugars and what those results mean. It will also offer how to draw
up and self-administer insulin as well as education on other diabetic medications and their side
effects. In addition, education on coaching on nutrition, exercise, and diabetic support groups
