In December 2004, CDC’s Division of Diabetes Translation recognized 14 states for their success in meeting the Healthy People 2010 (HP2010) targets for two of the Diabetes National Objectives in 2004. The 2002-2003 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) data show that in 14 states, at least 75 percent of people with diabetes reported that they had received the recommended annual foot examination or the annual dilated eye examination. Seven of these states received special recognition for achieving their HP2010 targets for both the foot and eye exams. Four additional states were recognized for being very close to reaching the HP2010 targets slightly under 75 percent.

Routine exams, such as dilated eye exam and comprehensive foot exams, as well as glucose monitoring are important tools for preventing blindness, amputations, and other complications of diabetes.
The states were awarded a certificate of achievement and a plaque at the annual CDC’s Division of Diabetes Program Directors meeting in Atlanta. The CDC thanked the recipient states and their partners for their diligent work to improve the quality of care for people with diabetes.
The CDC’s Division of Diabetes Translation supports 59 diabetes prevention and control programs; one in each state, District of Columbia, and the U. S. territories. Through national and local partnerships, these programs strive to reduce the burden of diabetes and diabetes-associated complications among persons with diabetes.
