Studies have found common features among high-performing health departments that manage diabetes. These departments may include receiving external funding for programming, having a self-management education program that is recognized by the American Diabetes Association, and having partnership opportunities. Using your local health department as the basis of study, discuss the diabetes programming and services it utilizes. In your opinion, should more be done to battle diabetes in your area, or do you feel that the services provided are sufficient? Explain why you feel this way. 

Response should be no less than 300 words. Use APA style and all references must be cited using APA format.
