The
ADA and ACC have partnered on the Make
the Link! program in an effort to educate physicians and
health care providers about the link between diabetes and
cardiovascular disease. Through this initiative, the groups
will promote prevention of cardiovascular disease and its
risk factors through better understanding of the ABCs of diabetes
disease management.
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death
among people with diabetes accounting for at least two out
of three diabetes-related deaths. Please talk with your diabetes
patients about their increased risk for heart disease and
stroke. Make sure they know that risk reduction is possible
and help them understand that diabetes is more than managing
blood sugar—it is managing blood sugar, blood pressure,
cholesterol, and other CVD risk factors.
To
assist with your educational efforts, we’re offering
a comprehensive kit of reproducible patient education handouts
on topics related to diabetic CVD. Developed by the American
Diabetes Association, American College of Cardiology and Preventive
Cardiovascular Nurses Association, the kit covers 26 topics.
You
need Acrobat
Reader to view the different topics. Download and print
a master copy and photocopy the handouts for your patients.
To order the toolkit on CDRom or in hard copy, please call
1-800-DIABETES (342-2383) or send your name and mailing address
to AskADA@diabetes.org.
Please specify whether you want CDRom or hard copy.
