MEMORANDUM To: Val Leitner From: Lisa Cannon Date: 9/6/2011 Subject: National Institutes of Health and Diabetes The purpose of this memo is to compare the differences between the consumer health topic page for a Diabetes Overview and the clinical page on Diabetes Prevention Program Study Repository.
