I. Background: Prediabetes is a condition where people have higher than normal blood glucose levels (mg/di), but their mg/dl is not yet high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes. Nationally, an estimated 86 million American adults have prediabetes, but only about 11% of them know it. African Americans, American Indians, Alaska Natives, Asians, Hispanics, Native Hawaiians, and other Pacific Islanders are at higher risk than non-Hispanic whites for developing type 2 diabetes (CDC, Diabetes Report 2014). In 2013, the prevalence of prediabetes in North Carolina was estimated to be about 9%. In that same year, 9.5% of respondents to a Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System survey indicated that they had been told by a doctor or other health professional that they had prediabetes or borderline diabetes. Of those respondents, 31.3%were racial and ethnic minorities (African Americans: 13.0%; Hispanic/Latinos: 5.1%; American Indians: 6.8%; and other racial and ethnic minorities: 6.4%). (North Carolina State Center for Health Statistics, BRFSS 2014). Without intervention, each year, about 11% of those with prediabetes will progress to type 2 diabetes. Early detection and treatment of prediabetes can help to slow the projected increase in type 2 diabetes prevalence. In 2016, the North Carolina General Assembly made funding available to the Division of Public Health (DPH) for the Office of Minority Health and Health Disparities (NC OMHHD) to establish and administer, in consultation with the Chronic Disease and Injury Section, an evidenced-based diabetes prevention program targeting African-Americans, Hispanic/Latinos and American Indians (HB 1030, Health Director Signature (use blue ink) Date Local Health Department to complete: LHD program contact name: (If follow-up information is needed by DPH) Phone number with area code: Email address: Signature on this page signifies you have read and accepted all pages of this document.
