The Durham Diabetes Coalition has two teams working to improve the health and quality of life of adults in Durham County living with type 2 diabetes. The teams link referred patients to community resources. Some patients receive home visits from the team.

Each Clinical Team has a:

• Supervising Physician who supervises the work of the team,
• Nurse Practitioner who examines patients, works with the patient's primary care doctor and provides follow-up care,
• Licensed Social Worker who finds out patient needs, provides case management and counsels some patients,
• Registered Dietitian who discusses dietary needs and helps develop a nutrition plan and a
• Community Health Worker who links patients with community resources and helps schedule appointments.
