What's Ahead
While the ADA and other organizations fight — unsuccessfully, for now — for additional federal funding for research, studies of ways to stop or slow the devastating effects of diabetes continue. The AAHP and the ADA have joined forces in a national effort, "Taking on Diabetes." The goal is to promote successful diabetes care by advancing effective clinical practices, developing worksite health programs and community partnerships, and providing annual education programs. As of May, 335 health plans had pledged to participate. Diabetes programs are slowly shifting from targeting only the sickest patients — or those having the most difficulty managing the disease — to more comprehensive efforts that provide additional care and support to every patient with diabetes within a particular health plan, employer group, or community.
