Operation Diabetes is the biggest patient care initiative within CAPS.  Its focus is not only on patient education but also to help in catching potentially pre-diabetic patients and encouraging healthy lifestyle changes.  Some of the activities have included the Step Out to Fight Diabetes Walk and Juvenile Diabetes Walk as well as joining with other committees at the State Fair, flu clinics and Women's Health Expo. Due to the widespread prevalence of diabetes, we are hoping to join with other outside organizations and begin new endeavors as well for this upcoming year to extend our outreach.  Lack of knowledge on the basics of diabetes will not hinder you because a PowerPoint will be made available on blackboard for review so drop all inhibitions and join this wonderful patient care initiative!
