There is the American Diabetes Association, The National Diabetes Education Program (which is a Part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Resources and is a partnership of the Centers of Disease Control.

The National Institutes of Health and more than 200 private and public organizations) and the CDC’s (Centers for Disease Control) Division of Diabetes just to name a few.

The mission of all of these agencies is to provide valuable information for those already diagnosed with diabetes and those that have just been diagnosed.

To give you an example of what the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) has on its web and how all inclusive and how varied the topics are from March 14, 2012 page and reads as follows:

  • 2011 National Diabetes Fact Sheet
  • Diabetes and Disasters
  • Diabetes and the Flu: What you need to know and do
  • Chronic Kidney Disease Imitative
  • Prevent Diabetes: A Workplace Obesity Prevention Program
  • These are just a few of the topics that are covered on the CDC site alone.

  • Recruiting and Engaging Advocates
  • Local Market Planning Tools
  • Advocacy Handouts
