This website is part of a national education program called the State of Diabetes Complications in America, created by the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE) in partnership with the members of the diabetes complications consortium, including the Amputee Coalition of America (ACA), Mended Hearts, National Federation of the Blind (NFB) and the National Kidney Foundation (NKF). The consortium was formed to provide beneficial information to people with type 2 diabetes about how to reduce the risk of the health complications associated with the disease, as well as support and encouragement to people who have experienced these serious health problems. GlaxoSmithKline has provided funding and other support for the State of Diabetes Complications in America campaign to the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE) and members of the consortium.
