U.S. Diabetes Index Launched

The National Minority Quality Forum, Congressional Black Caucus Foundation and CBC Health Braintrust have partnered to create the U.S. Diabetes Index, a compilation of information about people living with diabetes, their care and the trends that are shaping the disease in the U.S.

The index's companion website, www.usdireport.com, offers more than 30,000 maps, charts and graphs depicting diabetes prevalence, costs, uncontrolled and pre-diabetes populations, co-morbid conditions and other indices broken down by geography, age, gender and race/ethnicity.

The site was designed with the hope that the information it contains could be used to help reduce the incidence of diabetes, improve outcomes and encourage more effective management of healthcare resources.
