| A Plan to Prevent and Control Diabetes in Texas |
 |
The Texas Diabetes Council is
legislatively mandated to develop and implement a state plan
for diabetes treatment, education and training. Diabetes
and Disparity is the theme for the 2008-09
plan, focusing on disparities in diabetes prevalence and mortality,
and the inequities in diabetes education and care that contribute
to a growing burden of diabetes in Texas.

| Radio Public Service Announcements |
In March 2008, the Texas Diabetes Council released five new public
service announcements for radio focusing on the prevention of type
2 diabetes and its complications. The new spots first aired
on Diabetes Alert Day, March 25, with messages related to pre-diabetes,
risk factors for diabetes, preventing diabetes through physical
activity and healthy eating, and complications of diabetes.
PSAs for Spanish radio feature the National Diabetes Education
Program (NDEP) campaign theme Prevengamos la diabetes tipo
2. Paso a Paso (Prevent type 2 diabetes. Step by Step).
