Steps to a Healthier Minneapolis understands the seriousness of diabates and the role we have in preventing new cases.

Diabetes empowerment cards were designed from the input of community members living with diabetes as well as our community consortium members. They are small and designed to be kept in one's wallet, where it will be easily accessible and available for every doctor and clinic visit. It can also serve as a general reminder of tests that should be requested and goals to be attained and maintained throughout the year. The cards are unique in that they have an empowerment focus; stating that a long and healthy life can ensue with diabetes as long as the patient takes control and becomes the leader of his/her healthcare team.
