In fiscal year 1999, a new five year grant was awarded with the emphasis on targeting minority populations and strengthening evaluative mechanisms in each state program. The number of comprehensive programs has been expanded to 16 Diabetes Control Programs with 43 funded as core programs. Core programs represent a states commitment to responding to the problem of diabetes. Comprehensive level states provide efforts that address a targeted entity to improve access to care and enhance quality care that is state wide and deep. Fiscal year 2000 is also targeting high risk minority populations disproportionately affected by diabetes. It is expected that in 2001 program efforts will be further developed to address ways that improve how populations at greatest risk will be targeted to reduce their risk factors. This will include but not be limited to working with managed care, evolving and existing health care systems, community based organizations, educational systems, practitioner behavior and guideline development.
