Nationally, 34.2 million people of all ages have diabetes: a total of 1.5 million new cases a year. A lack of diabetic knowledge among the clinical staff can cause a disadvantage in treating and assessing Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). Clinics that are not performing regular inservice diabetes education with the Medical Assistants (MAs) can significantly impact preventative care measurement and maintenance care. The project intended to increase diabetic knowledge and confidence among the clinical staff through the utilization of the Diabetes Initiative Tool (DIT) surveys.
