Diabetes is a unique disease whose management and successful outcome is completely dependent on the knowledge and active involvement by the individual who has it. Not only does diabetes require the education and involvement of the patient and support people, but the creative and determined efforts of their highly trained health care professionals.

The Diabetes Education Center of the Midlands (DECM) was established in 1984 to serve Nebraska and western Iowa by offering education and management programs for diabetes, lipids, hypertension, weight management and nutrition. DECM encourages referrals from community physicians, insurance companies and businesses.
