Advisory Groups

We support the efforts of the North Carolina Diabetes Advisory Council (DAC) in the implementation of North Carolina’s Guide to Prevention and Management of Diabetes, 3rd Edition. The purpose of the DAC is to develop, recommend and advocate for sound policies, priorities and strategies for the prevention, detection, and management of diabetes and to advocate for and assist public and private agencies and organizations to become more effectively engaged in efforts to reduce the burden of diabetes in North Carolina.
