Objective: To assess diabetes self-management education and support (DSMES) completion rate and explore the differences in DSMES completion by different delivery models.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 2017-2021 DSMES data at 2 local health departments (LHDs) in Eastern North Carolina. We evaluated DSMES completion by 2 delivery models.
Results: From 2017 to 2021, the overall DSMES completion rate was 15.3%. The delivery model of two 4-hour sessions was associated with a higher completion rate than the delivery model of four 2-hour sessions ( P < .05). Patients with less than a high school education and without health insurance were less likely to have completed their DSMES training ( P < .05).
Conclusion: The DSMES completion rate at LHDs in North Carolina is very low. A delivery model consisting of 10 hours of education delivered in fewer sessions may contribute to a higher DSMES completion rate, but more research is needed. Targeted programs are needed to engage patients and improve DSMES completion.

Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support (DSMES) programs are an effective, yet underutilized, resource to improve health outcomes and behaviors for people with diabetes. We examined the attendance and referral rates for people with diabetes to DSMES classes at an academic medical center, noting a 10% referral rate and 37% completion rate for those referred. We identified barriers to DSMES care at patient, provider, and health system levels.

The American Diabetes Association has recommended that diabetes self-management education and support (DSMES) teams improve diabetes outcomes by identifying and responding to patients' social needs. This study examines demographic patterns in how hemoglobin A1c (A1c) is related to individual social needs, reported urgency of those needs, and interest in obtaining assistance. A total of 1125 unique persons who had been referred for DSMES and had completed a social needs screener via our electronic medical record were included.
