Diabetes care and education has been occurring in Lac du Flambeau Wisconsin since 1996. The tribe has been a recipient of the SDPI grant since 1998. The diabetes program currently has two Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialists (CDCES). They provide individual diabetes care and education services to patients of the local tribal clinic- Peter Christensen Health Center. The diabetes program includes collaboration between the CDCES’s and the medical team to provide proper diabetes care. The program is accredited by the Association of Diabetes Care and Education Specialists. This requires continual quality improvement projects and evidence of following the Standards of Diabetes Care and Education set forth by ADCES. Patients are often referred to internal or external health and mental health program as needed. The CDCES’s collaborate with other health programs to provide diabetes education at community events.
