People with diabetes are more likely to have multiple chronic conditions and are in need of self-management programs that will engage them to better manage their care and medication regimen.

A variety of interventions are emerging that foster self-care management and meaningful engagement in care and services for people with multiple chronic conditions. The National Council on Aging (NCOA) established the Self-Management Alliance (SMA) to bring to scale proven self-management programs, increase community capacity to offer self-management services, and create financing mechanisms to support self-management programs.

In 2011, the New York Health Foundation (NYHealth) awarded a grant to NCOA to help support the development of SMA.
