Care Professionals
The Texas Diabetes Council is committed to assuring that Texans with
diabetes receive high-quality care from health care providers who have
access to the latest information related to diabetes. Activities related
to this priority area include developing, updating, and distributing standards
of care that serve as guides for health care providers who treat people
who have diabetes. Other activities support changes in the health care
system – including providers, payers, and educators – that
promote not only quality care, but also prevention.
The
Texas Diabetes Council has partnered with the Coalition
for Safe Community Needle Disposal to protect the public
from the potential hazards that unsafe disposal practices present.
More information on the Coalition is available at http://www.safeneedledisposal.org/.
