title: The Minnesota Diabetes Plan 2015: Stemming the tide on an epidemic and improving patient care.
abstract: The Minnesota Diabetes Steering Committee, a group of experts in diabetes care and prevention from around the state, in collaboration with the Minnesota Department of Health, is working to slow the incidence of diabetes and improve the care of Minnesotans who have the disease. The steering committee has developed a new five-year diabetes plan for the state that identifies nine areas around which stakeholders will focus energy and take action. This article describes that plan.
