Prevention

The DAA’s prevention priorities are to:

Ensure access to evidence-based diabetes prevention programs in all modalities (in-person, asynchronous, and synchronous/video)

  • Support ongoing funding of the CDC’s National Diabetes Prevention Program and address barriers to success
  • Address barriers to the success of the CMS Innovation Center’s Medicare Diabetes Prevention Program expanded model test
  • Advocate for coverage of diabetes prevention programs and behavioral therapies for people with prediabetes and obesity
  • Educate about access to the full continuum of care to treat obesity as another tool to address diabetes prevention
