Diabetes is a major public health, social and economic problem throughout Southern California and the country. Vital care information and several effective interventions are available to prevent diabetes and its complications, but may be complex and challenging, and are not often readily available in other languages or catered to ethnicity groups. This appears to be true in all states and across different health care systems. Major barriers to deliver effective interventions are: societal; the health care system; the health care provider; and the individual.
LDA has assembled various practitioners with expertise to provide information on the public health, economic, and social affects of diabetes and the LDA's program development.
Please feel free to review this site for information concerning diabetes, services, resources and to get a better understanding of the disease from the types of diabetes to the short and long term complications.
