Diabetes Projects
States Meeting Healthy People 2010 Goals
In December 2004, CDC’s Division of Diabetes Translation recognized 14
states for their success in meeting the Healthy People 2010 (HP2010)
targets for two of the Diabetes National Objectives in 2004. The 2002-2003
Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) data show that in 14
states, at least 75 percent of people with diabetes reported that they had
received the recommended annual foot examination or the annual dilated eye
examination. Seven of these states received special recognition for
achieving their HP2010 targets for both the foot and eye exams.
Four additional states were recognized for being very close to reaching the
HP2010 targets slightly under 75 percent.
States that have met the HP2010 goal of 75% of people with
diabetes getting annual foot and eye exams
- Delaware
- Hawaii
- Massachusetts
- Minnesota
- New Hampshire
- North Carolina
- South Dakota
States that have met the HP 2010 goal of people with diabetes
getting annual foot exam
- Montana
- North Dakota
- New Mexico
States that have met the HP2010 goal of people with diabetes
getting an annual dilated eye exam
- Connecticut
- Maryland
- Rhode Island
- Tennessee
States that are very close to (>74%) meeting the HP2010 target
- Florida (Eye exam)
- Iowa (Eye Exam)
- Maine (Foot exam)
- Utah (Foot exam)
Routine exams, such as dilated eye exam and comprehensive foot exams, as
well as glucose monitoring are important tools for preventing blindness,
amputations, and other complications of diabetes.
The states were awarded a certificate of achievement and a plaque at the
annual CDC’s Division of Diabetes Program Directors meeting in Atlanta. The
CDC thanked the recipient states and their partners for their diligent work
to improve the quality of care for people with diabetes.
The CDC’s Division of Diabetes Translation supports 59 diabetes
prevention and control programs; one in each state, District of Columbia,
and the U. S. territories. Through national and local partnerships, these
programs strive to reduce the burden of diabetes and diabetes-associated
complications among persons with diabetes.
