Description: Operation Diabetes is a diabetes screening and awareness campaign developed by APhA-ASP that is designed to increase awareness of diabetes. The goals of the committee are to help the public become more knowledgeable about the disease and to recognize the risk factors, signs and symptoms of pre-diabetes and diabetes. The Maryland chapter of APhA-ASP and the Operation Diabetes committee attend health fairs, as well as many other community events where we directly involve pharmacists and pharmacy students in diabetes management counseling and screening. It is our mission to help identify those who may not have been diagnosed in the past, help patients manage their diabetes, and ultimately prevent long-term complications of the disease.
