2012 Diabetes Guidelines

The American Diabetes association recently released the 2012 Standards of Medical Care for Diabetes. I am working with nursing colleagues and a physician to implement an Intensive Therapy for Obesity at a local clinic.  The purpose of the study is to reduces risk factors associated with metabolic syndrome and diabetes.  We have submitted an IRB and an application for a small grant to support the research.  Our goal is to improve the lives of people living in Milledgeville who are at risk for developing Type 2 Diabetes (T2D).

One of the Georgia College nursing informatics graduate students will be working with the clinic to develop a database registry to support the research effort.
