Healthcare Professionals
We welcome healthcare professionals and others to check out what we think are the best available downloadable materials and links to information about the care of patients with diabetes.
In the healthcare professional section, you’ll find:
Local diabetes care guidelines
Copy-ready chart pages to streamline patient follow-up
Patient handouts on diabetes
Links to tools and resources for your convenience, such as Diabetes PHD for advanced risk determination (your patients may need your help with this)


The American Diabetes Association’s screening tool, Diabetes PHD, is a tool that healthcare professionals may wish to assist their patients with because the health information requested requires knowledge of the individual’s blood pressure, blood glucose, and HDL, LDL, and total cholesterol levels, as well as a detailed list of medications.
