Making moves with Diabetes
Our Center is dedicated to promoting population health and successful aging through innovations in research, education and practice that examine social, behavioral, economic, environmental, and technological solutions linking academic and real-world clinical and community settings. We offer expertise in promoting health and wellness programs, chronic disease prevention and management, building healthy communities, and exploring interactions between health, aging, and technology. We strive to improve geriatric care, evaluate policy issues related to population aging, grow the pipeline of experts in gerontology and geriatrics, and identify interventions for promoting healthy aging across the life course

Live in Control (Vivir en Control)
Live in Control (or Vivir en Control) is an evidence-informed diabetes self-management education program. Live in Control, and its Spanish counterpart, Vivir en Control, incorporates proven approaches in DSME practice, supported by research. The curriculum was modified to include an emphasis on patient activation while using a family-centered approach. Current research shows that DSME programs that are family-centered and focused on patient activation will yield the best health outcomes for persons with diabetes.
