Since 2002, the prevalence of diabetes has increased by nearly 50 percent among New York City adults. Recent reports indicate that 740,000 New Yorkers have diabetes and an additional 1.3 million have prediabetes, with the burden of disease falling disproportionately on minority communities of color. Of those living with prediabetes, an estimated nine out of 10 people are unaware of their condition. As a health care provider, you play a crucial role in helping your patients prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes. The clinical tools and patient education materials in this Diabetes Action Kit will support and amplify your efforts to help patients with prediabetes and diabetes.
