(P505) Comparing Underserved Population Outcomes Using Remote Monitoring And/or Diabetes Education

Considering the lack of Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support (DSMES) Programs in 62% of nonmetropolitan US counties, leveraging technology can improve health access and equity for underserved and under-resourced populations with diabetes. New coverage codes for Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) and enhanced access to virtual DSMES programs offered in English and Spanish promote program sustainability, critical to providing ongoing access for individuals and families living in rural communities. This poster explores clinical and behavioral outcomes of three virtual groups: 1) those enrolled in both RPM and DSMES, with collaborative integration of behavior change with DCES team members and clinical management with an endocrinologist or provider; 2) individuals exclusively in RPM, assessing self-care behavior impact on health indicators; and 3) DSMES program completers.
