The Durham Diabetes Coalition is a partnership of Durham County health and community organizations, faith-based groups, local government and universities, and community members. 

About 12% of Durham County adults are living with type 2 diabetes.

We want to: 

1. Cut down on death and injury from type 2 diabetes.
2. Find people who have type 2 diabetes and don’t know it. 

How are we going to reach our goals?

• Create a data system.
• Put together an active board.
• Roll out health programs the community says they want.
• Offer home-based care to people with problems getting to clinics or doctor’s offices.
• Share information about type 2 diabetes on TV, radio, in newspapers and neighborhoods
