- Training Protocol: Emergency Glucagon Providers (pdf) - The 1997 Oregon Legislature amended ORS 433.800 - 830 (the statute allowing lay persons to administer epinephrine injections to persons experiencing severe allergic reactions) to authorize lay persons to be trained to administer glucagon injections. Glucagon injections are a potentially life-saving treatment for persons suffering from severe hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). This legislation allows for the training of persons over the age of 21 to administer glucagon to any person with hypoglycemia that has been diagnosed by a licensed health care provider. However, the most common applications will likely be to support school-aged children with diabetes.
The DHS-Public Health Division adopted Administrative Rules (333-55-000 through 035) to support training emergency glucagon providers. The Public Health Division is responsible for developing training protocols for the initial training of these emergency providers and their periodic retraining. This is the training protocol for glucagon.
- Meals Made Easy (pdf) - The Meals Made Easy Program offers a social environment conducive to the transfer of knowledge and skills by participatory nutrition education, food preparation activities and tasting of foods. Self-efficacy is further enhanced by the social support of others in the classroom. Extension faculty and diabetes health care professionals facilitate the sessions, incorporating learning, discussion, and goal setting.

Keeping Oregonians Healthy is a statewide report that summarizes information about the burden of chronic diseases and related risk factors among Oregonians. It provides information about how many people in our state are affected by various diseases or conditions that can cause them. It also reviews differences in rates of these conditions by county, by socioeconomic status, and between racial and ethnic communities in the state. Finally, it describes effective strategies through which we can manage and even prevent chronic disease among the state's population.
