The Changing Diabetes® Barometer programme places people with diabetes and the importance of quality of care at the core of all the CDB initiatives. The optimal to do this is through analysing and sharing relevant data to increase awareness and highlight need for improvements in diabetes prevention, treatment, and care. In addition, the CDB programme will also provide the context in which healthcare providers and payers can analyse the performance of their efforts, learn from best practices of others and thus drive improvements in diabetes care.
Objectives:
Underline the link between quality of diabetes care, reduction in complications and socio-economic costs thus enabling all stakeholders to make informed choices.
Improve treatment through inspiring learning based on measuring and comparing results as all stakeholders develop a clear picture of the current quality of diabetes care.
Inspire others to follow best practice examples.
With these objectives in mind, CDB initiatives are aimed to achieve the following results:
Add ‘outcomes’ to the diabetes care debate (measuring key indicators, such as HbA1c, blood pressure, lipids, BMI, and complications) and go beyond medicinal treatments by looking at factors including access to care and implementation of national diabetes programmes.
Serve as a valuable tool for doctors to devise new ways to improve quality of care.
Enable patient advocacy groups to engage more effectively with healthcare funders and providers.
Allow legislators to assess the progress made in combating diabetes.
Bring together various stakeholders: people with diabetes, healthcare professionals, academics, patient and professional organizations, governments, industry, and media on one platform.
Access diabetes care through innovative and sustainable healthcare models

Major activities under Project CDB
Diabetes Awareness
Objectives
Creating awareness on diabetes and diabetes complications through Changing Diabetes® Barometer program in the community
What we do
As per rules of halves 50% PwD are not aware about the diabetes and diabetes complications, Changing Diabetes® Barometer program is trying to maximize awareness about the diabetes and its complications in the community.
Organising regular camps on diabetes awareness
Facilitating Community Health Centers (CHCs) and Primary Health Centers (PHCs) to become the center for regular information flow for diabetes
Distributing the diet charts at testing camps to PwD and people with Pre-Diabetes
Distribution IEC booklet to educate the community on diabetes at testing camps to PwD and people with Pre-Diabetes
Creating awareness on Diabetes in community with Changing Diabetes® in the Community newsletter
Benefits
Improving awareness and diagnosis in the community
Improving the adherence rate for medication for minimizing complications
Learning and Excellence Academy for diabetes and co-morbidities (LEAD)

Objectives
To develop effective treatment practices for diabetes among the huge pool of Govt. doctors
Improve the patient outcome by ensuring the compliance rate
Ensure optimal treatment for better hypoglycemic control and reduction of diabetes related complications
What we do
Providing advanced diabetes care training to every PHC doctor
Engaging the PHC doctors with CMEs
Updating the PHC doctors knowledge on diabetes care with scientific and evidence based case reports
Benefits

High Compliance rate
Community Diabetes Center (CDC) for Diabetes Care
Integrated approach of managing diabetes and the pilot model for NCD
The NCD burden is unresolved if the early diagnosis is not resulted in affordable treatment and counselling. Changing Diabetes® Barometer project has brought necessary improvement in awareness and knowledge, but due to a lack of provision of appropriate medication, containing the progression of the disease and complications could not be achieved, as desired. “Optimal Care” needs to be strengthened is to make the diabetes and NCD management more robust. The experience from the CDB project has made a way for establishing focused diabetes care clinics by introducing Centre for Diabetes Care (CDC). Under this initiative, Diabetes treatment infrastructure was strengthened by focused treatment and counselling along with training and capacity building. CDC would be based on a holistic approach of basic diabetes management. Centres for Diabetes Care (CDC) is defined as a process of introduction of focused diabetes care as a part of the Out Patient Department (OPD) care in urban health centres/ Area Hospitals/District Hospitals by facilitating necessary capacity in terms of training, infrastructure, prescription and administration of anti-diabetes medication and counselling.
Objectives
Strengthening “Changing Diabetes® Barometer” project through introduction of “Community Diabetes Centre for Diabetes care” at Secondary and Tertiary level
What we do
Centre for Diabetes Care (CDC), first of its kind in India for management of diabetes under Public Private Partnership
Can be most effective model to control the Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) in developing country like India
Easy access of diabetes medical assistance to every common man
