Community Health Checkup

Patients and their health care teams have to work together to achieve the best results, particularly when it comes to diabetes. Everyone with diabetes is different. Every doctor needs their patients? help to achieve the best possible results. The Checkup shows how doctors? practices and their patients are doing. For more details, go to the Community Health Checkup Report.

How can I use this report?

• Understand the measures of quality diabetes care. You and your doctor can help each other stay on track for the recommended tests, exams and vaccines ? the "processes" that are measured below. Use this checklist to remind you of important questions to ask. Keep a record of your results.
• Know your goals for these "outcomes" measures of good control, and track of your progress in reaching them. Talk to your doctor if you have trouble with your medicines, or if you need help to lose weight or quit smoking.
• Ask questions about things you don't understand and about things you need help with. It's OK to ask questions!
