Why?
Obvious need for resources
When researching the state of Michigan and comparing different counties and the prevalence of diabetes, Lake County stands out as one of the counties with a high percentage of adults with diabetes. Fourteen percent of the adults in Lake County live with a diagnosis of diabetes, which is almost four percent higher than the total in the state of Michigan (District Health Department #10, 2015, p. 22). There is a need for education within this community and information is not readily available. This is the reason we have decided on a program to assist the diabetic population of Lake County in gaining necessary resources to manage this complex chronic condition.
