New Program: Pre-Diabetes Screening for
Hep-HIV Patients
All hands: screen and monitor to mitigate
comorbidities
Caring for patients with chronic infections means
adjusting and developing programs to better meet
their needs and improve their quality of life. We are
aware of the high risk of co-morbidities in people
living with HIV, VHB, and/or VHC infections. Baylor’s
complex care model is designed to increase quality
of life, and screening for diabetes is another step in
this direction. We hope this new component of the
long-term care program will become, with proper
resources, a self-standing screening service for the
general population in the communities where we
operate our three voluntary counseling and testing
centers. screening for pre-diabetes and diabetes
“We felt encouraged to design and submit the proposal
for this new long-term care program component: changes, they have the opportunity to maintain their
among Baylor beneficiaries. It was a
team effort to design and pilot the
program in 2019, providing tests
for our Hep-HIV beneficiaries. Our
top motivation is to reverse as many
pre-diabetes cases as possible.” - Cristina
