House Bill 123 amends the Health and Safety Code to authorize the Department of State Health Services, in a county with a population of more than 100,000, to assist hospital districts and county hospital systems in providing an adult diabetes education program. The bill establishes requirements for a participating hospital district or county hospital system with regard to making the education program available in the county and requires the Texas Diabetes Council to develop for the program a curriculum emphasizing life choices that enable a diabetic patient to control the disease and improve the patient's standard of living.
