Diabetes Program

Diabetes is common and increasing. In Jackson County, a little over 1 in 10 adults have been diagnosed with diabetes. It is estimated that an additional 35% of adults ages 20 and older have pre-diabetes and are more than likely to eventually develop type 2 diabetes.

Diabetes is serious. It is the leading cause of heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, limb amputation, and new-onset blindness.
