WHEREAS, President Barack Obama has proclaimed November 2015 as National Diabetes Month; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate of the State of California, That the Senate declares November 2015 as Diabetes Awareness Month; and be it further
Resolved, That individuals are encouraged to seek early screening and early treatment to reduce the rate of diabetes and its complications among high-risk populations; and be it further
Resolved, That health care workers are encouraged to improve care for the control of diabetes and the treatment of major complications; and be it further
Resolved, That health care providers are encouraged, as they detect and treat the emerging diabetes epidemic, to engage in an aggressive program with their patients that includes a treatment regimen that meets and exceeds minimum treatment guidelines, as well as measurements of body weight and other associated risk factors; and be it further
