National Diabetes Information Clearinghouse (NDIC)

An information dissemination service of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) that was established in 1978 to increase knowledge and understanding about diabetes among patients, health-care professionals, and the general public. To carry out this mission, the National Diabetes Information Clearinghouse (NDIC) works closely with NIDDK’s Diabetes Research and Training Centers; the National Diabetes Education Program (NDEP); professional, patient, and voluntary associations; government agencies; and state health departments to identify and respond to informational needs about diabetes and its management.
