The South Dakota Diabetes Coalition (SDDC), comprised of organizations and individuals whose collective mission is “partnering to improve health outcomes of those affected by diabetes in South Dakota” has developed this strategic plan. It was a true collaborative effort with many members of differing perspectives coming together to determine how best to collaboratively reduce the burden of diabetes in South Dakota. The Coalition is grateful for the input provided by all those affected by diabetes. We realize it will take many people and many partners to reduce the burden that diabetes places on our state.

This strategic plan focuses on four priorities:

1. Empower the citizens of South Dakota to prevent type 2 diabetes.
2. Prevent the complications of diabetes.
3. Eliminate diabetes-related health disparities in South Dakota.
4. Increase the South Dakota Diabetes Coalition organizational capacity.
