Also included is a listing of statewide assistance programs and organizations providing a variety of services. This directory serves as a vital tool for people seeking education or assistance for diabetes and related diseases. With the prevalence of diabetes steadily rising in Alabama the provision of education, support, and assistance is of the utmost importance. Every attempt has been made to ensure that the information within this resource directory is accurate. This document is not all inclusive. Those interested in being included in this directory should contact the Alabama Department of Public Health Diabetes Branch at (334) 206-5300 or (800) 252-1818. STRATEGIES TO DELAY OR PREVENT THE ONSET OF TYPE 2 DIABETES: Achieve and maintain a healthy weight Be more physically active Maintain a healthy blood pressure Eat a healthy diet o Eat foods rich in fiber o Eat the recommended five to nine servings of fruits and vegetables daily o Use less salt Have your cholesterol checked regularly, and keep it low Stop smoking and tobacco use, if you smoke or use tobacco products 1 Diabetes in Alabama According to 2013 data released from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 13.8 percent of people in Alabama have been diagnosed with diabetes, and thousands are unaware that they even have the disease. Alabama ranks among the top five states in the nation for the prevalence of diabetes, surpassing the national average. Diabetes is the 7th leading cause of death in the state and directly contributes to the incidence of heart disease and stroke. It is also the primary cause of kidney failure, non-trauma related limb amputations, and adult onset blindness. Adults with diabetes are two to four times more likely to die of heart disease or have a stroke than adults without diabetes. Left untreated or uncontrolled, diabetes can also lead to other complications, including nerve damage, dental disease, and pregnancy complications. Diabetes can directly cause acute life-threatening events such as diabetic coma and heart attack, and people with diabetes are more susceptible to many other illnesses such as influenza and pneumonia. Self-management of diabetes is the key to preventing complications. It is important that people living with diabetes learn how to manage the disease and maintain good health. This directory is intended to direct people living with diabetes to educational programs, support groups, and other resources that can help promote and sustain healthy behaviors that will help avert complications and improve the quality and length of life. Approximately 510,000 Alabamians have been diagnosed with diabetes. 2 Statewide Organizations and Programs Alabama Cooperative Extension System Alabama Primary Health Care Association Duncan Hall, Room 107A Celestine D.

After approval of a reservoir land management plan (LMP) by the TVA Board of Directors (TVA Board), all future uses of TVA lands on that reservoir must then be consistent with the allocations within that LMP. TVA’s Land Policy (TVA 2006) states that TVA may consider changing a land use designation outside of the normal planning process only for the purposes of providing water access for industrial or commercial recreation operations on privately owned back-lying land or to implement TVA’s Shoreline Management Policy (SMP). A change in allocation of any parcel is subject to approval by the TVA Board or its designee.
