Diabetes Workgroup

The Diabetes Workgroup is charged with developing a citywide diabetes strategy for Baltimore City residents. This strategy will focus on pre-diabetes screening, prevention, early intervention, and self-management techniques such as promoting healthy eating habits, physical activity, and smoking cessation. This work also involves understanding the epidemiology of diabetes, examining gaps in service delivery, identifying priorities and recommendations for action, and engaging community stakeholders to support implementation of those recommendations.

In collaboration with a diverse group of diabetes stakeholders, the Baltimore City LHIC hopes to establish and support new referral pathways for the screening, prevention, early intervention, and self-management education of Baltimore City residents at risk or diagnosed with pre-diabetes/diabetes.
