School of Pharmacy Increases Diabetes Education Access Through State Grants


BALTIMORE – The number of people diagnosed with diabetes has increased across the globe in recent years, and Maryland has not been immune to the trend.

Recent research by the state’s Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System estimates that over 10 percent of Maryland adults have diabetes, and an additional 30-plus percent are diagnosed with prediabetes. With a mortality rate of 20.5 per 100,000 in 2019, diabetes is the sixth leading cause of death in Maryland.

Over 40 percent of Maryland adults are estimated to have either prediabetes or diabetes, which is the sixth leading cause of death in the state.

Reducing those numbers is a priority for the state, and NDMU's School of Pharmacy has emerged as a leader in that effort after being awarded a pair of grants to implement Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support (DSMES) Umbrella Hubs across the region.
