National Diabetes Profile

50 states and Washington, DC receive funding and technical support from CDC to work to prevent and manage diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. States implement and evaluate evidence-based strategies to help people manage diabetes and prevent or delay onset of type 2 diabetes in high-burden populations and communities. See DP18-1815 for more information.

21 states receive support from CDC to develop new and innovative approaches to increase the reach and effectiveness of evidence-based public health strategies. Activities under this program focus on reaching populations and communities with a high burden of diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. This funding supports state and local public health department efforts in preventing or delaying the onset of type 2 diabetes and improving health outcomes for people diagnosed with diabetes. See DP18-1817 for more information.

This cooperative agreement supports 10 national organizations that have affiliate program delivery sites to further build the National Diabetes Prevention Program infrastructure. These organizations work to increase the availability of the evidence-based lifestyle change program for groups that are underrepresented in the program relative to their disease burden and risk. These groups include Medicare beneficiaries; men; African American, Asian American, Hispanic, American Indian/Alaska Native, Pacific Islander persons; and people with visual or physical disabilities. Since 2018, these 10 organizations have worked on 1705 activities in 34 states and Washington, DC. See DP17-1705 for more information.
