New Diabetes Web Site for Health Care Professionals

Format: Web Site
Institute: National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK)

Recent clinical trials have shown that it is possible to prevent or delay onset of type 2 diabetes and complications for both type 1 and type 2. To better serve patients with diabetes, changes in health care delivery need to be made, and patients and professionals must work together to achieve these results.

The National Diabetes Education Program, cosponsored by NIDDK and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, has developed Making Systems Changes for Better Diabetes Care, a Web site that provides information, models, links, resources, and tools to help health care professionals and educators improve care delivery to patients with diabetes. Continuing education and continuing medical education credits are now available when you tackle this challenge.
