To help people manage their diabetes, the National Diabetes Education Program (NDEP) has developed the 4 Steps to Control Your Diabetes. For Life. booklet, which is now available in 14 Asian and Pacific Islander languages.

The booklet is an easy-to-read guide developed to empower people with diabetes to manage their disease by encouraging them to learn about diabetes; know their diabetes ABCs-the A1C test, blood pressure, and cholesterol; manage their diabetes; and get routine care to avoid problems. NDEP has added six new languages-Gujarati, Hindi, Hmong, Indonesian, Japanese, and Lao-to the existing Cambodian, Chinese, Filipino (Tagalog), Korean, Samoan, Thai, Tongan, and Vietnamese versions.
