The New York Diabetes Coalition (NYDC, the Coalition) is a collaboration
of professional medical societies, health plans, health-care focused
agencies, and community organizations dedicated to improving the health
of people who live with diabetes. The Coalition seeks to accomplish this by
helping health care providers deliver state of the art care for diabetes
through the promotion of tools and technology and by helping patients by
providing tools for self-management and resources to eliminate barriers to
care and close gaps in services.

In pursuit of this mission, the Coalition has developed the one page “Guidelines for Adult
Diabetes Care” based on the widely accepted American Diabetes Association’s
Clinical Recommendations, as part of a physician toolkit that includes patient education
tools and has spearheaded a pilot project to implement an electronic diabetes
registry system in the private practice setting.
