| Impact Report | DIABETES EDUCATION The agent offered one Kitchen Creations diabetes cooking schools in Las Cruces during PY 2010-2011 due to budget reductions. The agent also hosted information tables at various community events with diabetes information. This year the agent documented 351 diabetes educational contacts. The agent is also part of the Doña Ana Diabetes Action Coalition. This multi-agency coalition is responsible for supporting diabetes prevention and management events. For example Diabetes Wellness Day was held in November 2010. This is an annual educational conference open to the public, which provides a “one-stop shop” for diabetes management information. The coalition also partnered with the City of Las Cruces to host monthly physical activity events called Ciclovías. This monthly event provides the community with opportunities for fun physical activity as a way to address the issue of obesity and diabetes. The success of this event has encouraged other counties to plan and implement their own Ciclovía events. This year the agent documented 1,106 physical activity contacts. |
