2Programs at a Glance
DCAF – Diabetes in Children and Families Support Group is dedicated to providing education and support
to those children diagnosed with diabetes & their families. We welcome parents, children and other family
members to attend meetings, as well as professionals and interested community members. Each monthly
meeting provides an educational lecture from a health care professional and an opportunity for sharing
information. Studies have shown that well‐informed patients require fewer hospital and doctor visits.
Injection Connection is a fun and active teen support program focused on those ages 12‐17. It is geared
towards maintaining good diabetes care in between camps and deals with “teen issues.” The Injection
Connection has been successfully running since 2008 and meets on a quarterly basis for various activities
and diabetes education.
The Emergency Medical Program ‐ provides diabetes supplies and insulin to people in need. Patients need
to have an active prescription and met qualifications.
Nevada Diabetes Resource Directory ‐ The directory is distributed free of charge throughout Nevada and
serves as a valuable tool in assisting people to find the services and resources they need. Over 10,000
copies are printed each year. The Resource Directory is also available online at our web site:
http://diabetesnv.org.
Family Diabetes Day and Weekend Camps ‐ The goal of our Family Camps is to educate children and their
families about diabetes in a fun environment. Children learn to better manage their diabetes in a
supportive atmosphere. Parents are given up‐to‐date information on care and management and best ways
to help their children help themselves.
Diabetes Residential Camps ‐ Residential camps are offered for children with diabetes in both northern
and southern Nevada. Our camps provide a mechanism for children with diabetes to enjoy camp activities
under medical supervision while learning to understand their disease and developing the confidence and
skills they need to manage their condition. Camp helps them learn diabetes does not control their lives;
they can take control of their diabetes.
Help Yourself to a Healthier Life ‐ Chronic Disease Self Management Program – Is a 2‐hour program held 1
day over a 6‐week period. The program designed by Stanford Medical School helps people with chronic
health conditions gain the necessary skills to significantly improve the quality of their lives. This program is
provided free of charge and includes a book and tape.
Small Changes ‐ Big Rewards Program ‐ is a free one‐hour program for individuals, organizations and
businesses that can help at risk people from developing diabetes as well as other chronic health conditions
and those with diabetes from developing complications and better manage their condition.
The Defeat Diabetes Project ‐ Provides free diabetes screenings, information and referrals. This project
targets at‐risk populations including Hispanic, African American, Native America and Pacific Islanders. The
program’s protocol for diabetes screening has been given to the Southern Nevada Health District, Nevada
Urban Indians and other organizations to use at their health fairs.
Library of Literature – The NDA provides free diabetes literature as well as information on nutrition,
exercise and related topics. The NDA also works with the public library system to see that the books on
diabetes currently in circulation reflect the most recent diabetes information.

5DIABETES PREVENTION CAMPAIGN
The Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) was the first major clinical trial in the United States to show that moderate
changes in diet and exercise can delay and possibly prevent Type 2 diabetes in a diverse population of people with
impaired Glucose Tolerance, a pre‐diabetic condition. The DPP found that modest weight loss, 5 to 7 percent of body
weight, and increased physical activity can cut a person’s risk of developing Type 2 diabetes by more than half.
The DPP provides the scientific evidence that the rising tide of type 2 diabetes in the U.S. can be turned back. The
Nevada Diabetes Education Program (NDEP) is taking the lead on translating the DPP findings and developing a national
education campaign and mobilizing its partners to get this important information out to health care providers and
people at risk for Type 2 diabetes.
Known pre‐diabetes risk factors include:
• Being overweight or obese.
• Family history of diabetes.
• Low HDL cholesterol and high triglycerides.
• High blood pressure (consistent reading of 140/90 mm Hg or higher).
• History of gestational diabetes or gave birth to a baby weighing more than 9 pounds.
• Belonging to one of the following minority groups: African Americans, Native American Indians, Hispanic
Americans/Latinos, and Asian American/Pacific Islanders.
What You Can Do
There is good news, however. Results from the landmark Diabetes Prevention Program show that even moderate
lifestyle changes can make a big difference in preventing Type 2 diabetes and can even reverse the pre‐diabetes
condition in some people. Metformin, a Type 2 diabetes medication, was also shown to be beneficial to some individuals
with pre‐diabetes/impaired glucose tolerance. If you are at risk for pre‐diabetes, or even if you have it now, losing
excess weight through proper diet and exercise can improve the body’s ability to use insulin and to process glucose
more efficiently.
• Exercise. If you do not do it now, get started. Surprisingly, seven in ten Americans don't engage in any type of
regular physical activity. Yet a regular, moderate exercise program of just thirty minutes a day five days a week
can greatly reduce your risk of diabetes. It does not have to be fancy‐ a brisk walk, outdoor play with the kids or
even working in the yard burns calories and gets your body moving. Always check with your physician before
starting a new fitness program, especially if you have a chronic illness or other health problems.
• Eat right. If you are overweight, you will need to reduce calorie intake and cut fats. A Registered Dietitian or
Certified Diabetes Educator can help you develop a food plan that works for you. If you are a self‐starter, try
following the food pyramid for healthier eating habits. Again, touch base with your doctor if you have pre‐
existing health conditions.
• Talk to your doctor. New screening guidelines issued by the American Diabetes Association (ADA) call for
physicians to test overweight individuals over the age of 45 with a fasting blood glucose test and/or oral glucose
tolerance test. Fit the profile? Talk to your doctor today and get tested.
6TAKE THE DIABETES RISK ANALYSIS Find out if you are at high risk of getting diabetes by answering and scoring the following statements. 1. I had a baby weighing more than nine pounds at birth or had diabetes during pregnancy. If you answered Yes give yourself a score of 6. If you answered No give yourself a score of 0. 2. I have a parent(s), sister, or brother with diabetes. If you answered Yes add 3 to your score. If you answered No add 0. 3. I consider myself Hispanic, African American, American Indian, Asian American, or Pacific Islander. If you answered Yes add 3 to your score. If you answered No add 0. 4. I am overweight. If you answered Yes add 3 to your score. If you answered No add 0. 5. I have been told I have a high blood sugar level. If you answered Yes add 6 to your score. If you answered No add 0. 6. I am between 45 and 64 years of age. If you answered Yes add 1 to your score. If you answered No add 0. 7. I am under 65 years of age AND I get little or no exercise during a usual day. If you answered Yes add 3 to your score. If you answered No add 0. 8. I am 65 years old or older. If you answered Yes add 3 to your score If you answered No add 0. Now, add up your total score from items 1 through 8. If you scored 1 to 5 points, you are probably at low risk for having diabetes now. But don't forget about it, especially if you are Hispanic, African American, Native American, Asian American or a Pacific Islander. If you scored 6 or more points, you are at high risk for having or getting diabetes. Only a doctor can determine if you have diabetes. If you have diabetes, we encourage you to share this information with your family members.

DIABETES FACTS
Diabetes is a common, serious and costly disease ($167 million in 2005)
that poses a major health problem in our state. The CDC (Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention) estimates that Nevada's population will
double in the next 20 years. As of 2005, 7.1% of our citizens report being
diagnosed with diabetes. Much of the current and future health and
economic burden of diabetes can be averted through increased
awareness about the disease and known preventive measures.
WHAT IS DIABETES?
Diabetes is a disorder of metabolism, the way our body processes and uses certain foods, especially carbohydrates. The
human body normally converts carbohydrates to glucose, the simple sugar that is the main source of energy for the
body's cells. To enter cells, glucose needs the help of insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas. The pancreas is
supposed to automatically produce the right amount of insulin to allow glucose to enter body cells from the blood and
be converted into energy. However, when the pancreas produces either little or no insulin or the body does not respond
to the insulin produced, the body cannot process glucose. As a result, it builds up in the blood stream, overflows into the
urine, and passes out of the body, effectively depriving the body of its main source of fuel.
WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF DIABETES?
TYPE 1 – INSULIN DEPENDENT: Type 1 diabetes is believed to be caused by a genetic predisposition and considered an
autoimmune disease in which the human immune system attacks the insulin‐producing beta cells in the pancreas and
destroys them. Consequently, the pancreas produces little or no insulin. A person with Type 1 diabetes needs daily
injections of insulin to live. Type 1 develops most often in children and young adults, but can occur at any age. Type 1
diabetes accounts for 10% of diagnosed diabetes cases in the U.S.
WARNING SIGNS OF TYPE 1 include:
Frequent urination Rapid weight loss
Abnormal thirst Unusual hunger
Irritability Obvious weakness
Fatigue Blurred vision
Nausea and vomiting
These symptoms appear suddenly. See a doctor immediately. If not diagnosed and treated a person can lapse into a
life‐threatening coma.
TYPE 2: is called "2" because it requires TWO causes: congenital and acquired and TWO mechanisms: insulin resistance
and beta cell fatigue and the insulin resistance has TWO problems: Decreased glucose uptake in TWO tissues (Muscle
and fat), increased glucose production by the liver. Type 2 usually occurs after the age of 30 but can also occur in
children and teens. About 80% of people with Type 2 are over weight. Symptoms may include any of the signs and
symptoms listed under Type 1 or:
Drowsiness/lack of energy Itching
A family history of diabetes Excessive weight
Tingling, numbness in the feet Frequent infection
Slow healing of sores
Any one of these signals can mean diabetes. See your doctor at once.
