This webinar will explore best practices for providing safe, effective diabetes care in detention settings, grounded in the American Diabetes Association® Standards of Care in Diabetes. Presenters will discuss how national clinical standards can be applied within the operational, security, and resource constraints unique to correctional facilities.

Participants will gain practical guidance on screening, monitoring, medication management, and continuity of care, as well as the importance of trained health care staff and reliable access to supplies and treatments. The session will also highlight how early identification and consistent management can prevent acute medical emergencies, reduce costly hospital transfers, and limit long-term complications such as cardiovascular disease, vision loss, renal failure, and amputations.

This webinar is designed for correctional health professionals seeking to improve outcomes, enhance safety, and reduce risk and cost associated with diabetes in custody.
