Through the Indian Health Service's (IHS) National Diabetes Program, HHS promotes collaborative strategies to prevent diabetes and its complications among native populations. These efforts include grants to over 300 Tribes and Indian organizations to increased availability of services including basic clinical exams, newer treatment medications, laboratory tests for improved diabetes control, screening for diabetes and pre-diabetes, nutrition education and physical fitness. www.ihs.gov/MedicalPrograms/Diabetes/. Diabetes prevention and control control programs. CDC funds programs in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories to improve access to affordable, quality diabetes care and services, with priority on reaching high-risk individuals and disproportionately affected populations. www.cdc.gov/diabetes/pubs/. Community-based health centers. HHS' Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) supports an effort to reduce diabetes by working with HHS-funded community-based health centers to improve the effectiveness of health care services provided in underserved communities. The effort is part of a broader campaign to reduce health disparities. www.healthdisparities.net.
