Health 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.

At the request of legislators and other interested parties, the Texas Diabetes Council has provided background information (briefings) on current diabetes topics with attention to related activities occurring around the state. Past briefings prepared by staff at the Texas Department of State Health Services are listed below with links to PDF files (viewing information).
