The D5
How does your Minnesota Diabetes care measure up? Visit theD5.org
NOTE: The D5 is a set of five treatment goals that, when achieved together, represent the gold standard for managing diabetes. Reaching all five goals greatly reduces a patient's risk for the cardiovascular problems associated with diabetes. A clinic's D5 is based on the number of diabetes patients, ages 18-75, who reached all five goals. This site lets you compare clinics in and around Minnesota using "the D5". This information can help you to make choices about your care and talk with your doctor about the results. Clinics are already using this information to improve the care they provide.
