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

To help people manage their diabetes, the National Diabetes Education Program (NDEP) has developed the 4 Steps to Control Your Diabetes. For Life. booklet, which is now available in 14 Asian and Pacific Islander languages.

The booklet is an easy-to-read guide developed to empower people with diabetes to manage their disease by encouraging them to learn about diabetes; know their diabetes ABCs—the A1C test, blood pressure, and cholesterol; manage their diabetes; and get routine care to avoid problems. NDEP has added six new languages—Gujarati, Hindi, Hmong, Indonesian, Japanese, and Lao—to the existing Cambodian, Chinese, Filipino (Tagalog), Korean, Samoan, Thai, Tongan, and Vietnamese versions.
