Our History

The New Mexico Diabetes Advisory Council (NMDAC) was formed in September 1993 to address the serious issues facing New Mexicans with diabetes. The NMDAC includes a broad spectrum of individuals and groups concerned with diabetes. The general membership is now comprised of more than 700 people including dietitians, health educators, nurses, pharmacists, physicians, social workers, and representatives from clinics, pueblos, tribes, educational institutions, and many other organizations. The NMDAC Board was formed in September 2001 to act in an advisory and leadership role. In 2007, the NMDAC became a 501(c)(3) organization.

The mission of the NMDAC is to promote health practices, policies, and systems that support the quality and accessibility of diabetes prevention and care in New Mexico.
