| Mission | Diabetes is a disease in which education toward self-management is the key to survival and the prevention of complications of blindness, kidney failure, amputations, and early heart attacks. The Diabetes Centers were developed to provide the citizens of the state of Florida access to the most up-to-date education and clinical care to optimally control their disease. The Diabetes Centers at the UF, USF, and UM collectively constitute the infrastructure (staff, organization, resources, and knowledge) that account for most of the professional education on diabetes conducted in Florida and virtually all the patient and professional training in diabetes for the Department of Health personnel and clients. |
