The Diabetes Program serves Vermont health professionals, individuals and families. We provide information to health professionals to learn more about Vermont diabetes-related data and community-based services, and resources to help individuals and families with self-management.

The Health Department provides funds and technical advice to select partners in health systems. We also work with community partners to support community-clinical linkages for evidence-based self-management programs to assist primary care staffs' efforts in self-management support. We strive to provide meaningful data and impact that data to show a reduction in prevalence of disease and improvements in self-reported beneficial behaviors associated with disease prevention and successful disease management.
