TDC advocates the use of intensified diabetes self-management through the appropriate use of oral medications and intensified insulin therapy. TDC will provide consultative educational services to clinicians and patients to maximize adherence to individualized therapeutic regimens.

To accomplish this goal, TDC will provide diabetes support groups in both English and Spanish and Diabetes Screening Programs targeting high-risk patient populations.
