Why Is This Important?

Diabetes is a leading cause of chronic kidney disease, which leads to end-stage renal disease. Chronic kidney disease is a leading cause of personal suffering and increasing health care costs. Nearly 25 percent of the Medicare budget is used to treat people with chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease (https://www.healthypeople.gov/2020/topics-objectiv...). Besides chronic kidney disease, diabetes is also a leading cause of cardiovascular disease, personal suffering and increased health care costs. Diabetes can be prevented, or at least its onset can be delayed. Monitoring indicators and outcomes associated with chronic kidney disease and diabetes helps Vermonters stay on a track for disease prevention.

We also work with community partners to support community-clinical linkages for evidence-based self-management programs to assist primary care staffs' efforts in self-management support. We strive to provide meaningful data and impact that data to show a reduction in prevalence of disease and improvements in self-reported beneficial behaviors associated with disease prevention and successful disease management.
