How will the Goal supporters go about achieving the Goal?
Achieving the National Diabetes Goal will take the efforts of companies, organizations and individuals, all working toward the same end. Organizations that are supporting the Goal have flexibility in how they approach its achievement. Activities are likely to include awareness and educational efforts to reach people at risk of type 2 diabetes and health care providers with information about who is at risk, how to get tested for diabetes, and what actions to take thereafter. Individuals interested in supporting the Goal can find out if they are at risk of type 2 diabetes and get tested as appropriate. They also can spread the word to family members and friends about the seriousness of type 2 diabetes and the need for people to know their blood glucose number and take appropriate action.
