About Us


REACH (Reaching Euglycemia And Comprehensive Health) is a program designed to help people reach euglycemia or "normal" blood sugar and prevent or delay the onset of diabetes and complications that are associated with the disease. Those newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes are also encouraged to participate in the program.

A multidisciplinary team of diabetes experts from University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, including a physician, a physical therapist, a dietitian, a psychologist, and a nurse diabetes educator, staffs the REACH program.

REACH also offers a free screening for adults who are at risk for developing diabetes. The screening consists of a fasting blood glucose test, risk assessment, and recommendations for follow-up of test results.
