The Diabetes Control Program seeks to reduce the burden of diabetes in Tennessee by use of strategies that focus on community interventions, health communications, and health care systems changes. The Diabetes Advisory Council, composed of representatives from private health care, public health, non-profit agencies, and consumer groups, provides technical assistance. A significant accomplishment of the Council was the development of a diabetes medical record, which is being used by health care professionals and insurers throughout Tennessee and other states as a tool to assist in quality diabetes management
