The purpose of the Diabetes Initiative of South Carolina (DSC) is to develop and implement a comprehensive statewide plan of community outreach programs, health professional education, and diabetes surveillance. The goal is to provide the tools for management of the disease in order to reduce severe complications and cost burdens for South Carolinians who suffer from diabetes mellitus. The Initiative represents a unique melding of private, state, and federal resources and agencies toward this common goal. Nationally, South Carolina has a leading program which coordinates public efforts in the identification and management of this incurable chronic disease.
The Diabetes Initiative of South Carolina (DSC) was created by legislative action and signed into law by the Governor of South Carolina in July, 1994. The law established a Board of Directors with members appointed by the top officials of key organizations with an interest in diabetes and its complications. The Board has met quarterly since its beginning. ******************************************************SC Guidelines for Diabetes Care - 2011 These guidelines were adopted by the Diabetes Initiative of South Carolina on September 2, 2011, and released during the 17th Annual Diabetes Fall Symposium for Primary Health Care Professionals on Thursday, September 15, 2011 |
