The Diabetes Coalition of California (DCC) is an independent organization consisting of individuals and agencies dedicated to the recognition and reduction of the adverse personal and public impact of diabetes in the state's diverse communities. The Coalition is comprised of representatives from the general public, local health departments, universities, insurance and pharmaceutical companies, and a variety of community-based, voluntary, health and professional organizations.

2. Increasing public awareness.
3. Establishing treatment guidelines.
4. Increasing knowledge of diabetes among health care professionals.
