Diabetes Action Plan
Main_Content
The Maryland Department of Health created a Diabetes Action Plan to reduce the burden of diabetes in Maryland. The plan is a collaborative effort between health care partners and community-based organizations to align efforts, resources and funding.
The plan recommends a multi-faceted strategy, including:
Expanding nutrition and obesity prevention programs in every community
Sharing data among health care providers, program providers and state agencies
Supporting healthy eating at worksites, health systems and school cafeterias
Assessing the food supply chain to address food pricing and access to healthy foods
Increasing opportunities for students to have physical activity during and after the school day
Referring overweight children and adults to evidence-based weight and lifestyle counseling
Engaging partners to support state-of-the-art diabetes care including the use of telemedicine, case managers and community workers
