Why was My Diabetes Tutor founded? Dr. Prem Sahasranam, who goes by Dr. Sahas, is a Board-Certified Endocrinologist and the Founder of My Diabetes Tutor. He founded Central Valley Endocrinology in 2007, a state-of-the-art endocrine practice in Central California that provides exceptional care for adults in the rural Hanford-Visalia area which serves half a million people. He discovered that diabetes occurs at higher rates in rural versus urban areas, and people living in these rural areas have more diabetes-related complications. This scenario motivated Dr. Sahas to establish My Diabetes Tutor, Inc. (MDT) in September 2020 to bridge the gap in diabetes education, because with appropriate self-management education and support, people with diabetes can learn how to manage their diabetes, thereby preventing such complications. What does My Diabetes Tutor do? MDT is a nationally accredited, 1:1 Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support (DSMES) telehealth solution. It is the first program to provide in-patient diabetes education on-call services. It collaborates with health plans, health systems, and providers to deliver coaching to patients in the privacy of their own homes or via health provider kiosks. The program also has a diabetes prevention program, remote patient monitoring, and weight management program under development. Is it working? MDT outcomes have outpaced the national average for DSMES, delivering an average 1.6 A1C reduction for patients. Is MDT covered by insurance? MDT is 100% covered by Medicare and covered by most insurance providers in California. What does the future look like for MDT? After showing positive outcomes in rural Central California, MDT is expanding to address a great need to make diabetes education accessible in other rural communities.
