With diabetes afflicting just under 8% of Americans, and perhaps an even greater percentage of those living in the Southeastern and Appalachian regions, knowledge about the facts of diabetes and the methods of care are vitally important.
Diabetes: A Family Matter provides a starting point for anybody interested in learning about diabetes. Though much of Diabetes: A Family Matter is dedicated to an Appalachian audience, our overview of diabetes and diabetes prevention and care can provide a wealth of information to anybody interested in, or diagnosed with, diabetes.
Click the links in the navigation to the left to access the different sections of our diabetes overview. The navigation will expand to reveal more options once clicked. Our information is viewable online, and in most cases, the materials are also available for download for use in your family or community.
