Diabetes Impact Project: Indiana University Indianapolis

Diabetes Impact Project – Indianapolis Neighborhoods (DIP-IN)

Welcome! We are glad that you are interested in finding out more about the Diabetes Impact Project (DIP-IN). Through this project, we plan to:

reduce complications and improve quality of life of people living with Type 2 diabetes
increase awareness of risk factors for Type 2 diabetes and encourage people at high risk to be screened so they can take action
foster an environment (physical and social) that supports greater health and well-being for all residents
increase community capacity to lead DIP-IN initiatives through a focus on civic engagement and enhanced community leadership.
