American Diabetes Association

As the American Diabetes Association®, we are the only organization committed to helping children and adults with all types of diabetes, as well as those at risk. Through the tireless efforts of thousands of volunteers and staff across the country, we dedicate ourselves to improving the lives of all those affected by diabetes, and to one day finding a cure. But there is much work to be done. This burgeoning health crisis costs our nation more than $200 billion each year. Every 17 seconds, someone is diagnosed with diabetes, a disease that kills more Americans each year than breast cancer and AIDS combined. Current estimates project that as many as 1 in 3 American adults will have diabetes by 2050. That is not a future we are willing to accept. To truly change the trajectory of this disease it will take the bold commitment of a strong, passionate network of individuals, organizations and communities united behind a single goal, to STOP DIABETES®
