Diabetes Today

Diabetes Today looks at diabetes from a public health perspective rather than exclusively as a medical problem. The curriculum is grounded in the philosophy that people can take charge of diabetes at the local level. The curriculum serves as a guide for engaging community members, health professionals, and community institutions in understanding and responding to the burden of diabetes. Through the Diabetes Today training initiatives, the DPCP is reaching out to some of the state's most vulnerable populations who are also at greatest risk for diabetes. Local health departments have been awarded grants of up to $60,000.00 for the implementation of Diabetes Today programs in a lead region. We will feature success stories from our Diabetes Today grantees in the box to the left of this text.
