The Cooperative Extension Program of Prairie View A&M University (Dallas County) is proud to provide the Diabetes Education Awareness and Prevention (DEAP) program to residents of Dallas County.
DEAP is one of Extension's health and education efforts which takes a holistic approach to reducing diabetes in children and adults in minority communities. The primary focus is creating lifestyle changes, including a healthy diet, exercise, and weight loss, if needed, to help prevent or delay the onset of diabetes.
* There were more than 1.5 million new cases of diabetes in people 20 years or older in 2005;
* Diabetes can lead to heart disease, blindness, dental disease, amputations, etc. if left untreated;
* Working together, people with diabetes and their health care providers can reduce the occurrence of complications by controlling the levels of blood glucose, blood pressure, and blood lipids, and by receiving other preventive care practices in a timely manner.
