Panel hears diabetes wellness pilot bill emphasizing prevention and DHIN data tracking

Senator Siegfried presented House Bill 305, a proposed Delaware Diabetes Wellness Pilot intended to shift diabetes care from reactive treatment toward proactive, prevention‑oriented management. The sponsor described a program using continuous glucose monitoring, enhanced blood testing, dietitian counseling, an app‑based care coordination system, and statistical evaluation via the Delaware Health Information Network (DHIN). He said federal funding through a national health transformation program would remove a state fiscal note and that the pilot would be sunset after three years unless continued on demonstrable success.
