November marks National Diabetes Awareness Month, but it’s not a time for celebration — it’s a time to rally. With diabetes affecting over 37 million Americans and growing every year, the American Diabetes Association (ADA) is leading the charge in the fight against this epidemic. This month is about coming together to uplift those living with diabetes and to support efforts that help prevent, manage, and ultimately, cure the disease.
Here’s how the ADA is making a difference and how you can get involved:
Educating and Empowering
The ADA is committed to providing critical education and programs that help prevent diabetes and empower those living with it to lead healthy, full lives. Through these resources, individuals can reduce their risk of complications and better manage their condition. Whether you’re newly diagnosed, at risk, or supporting a loved one, ADA’s resources are here to guide and support you.
Advocating for Affordable and Equitable Health Care
Advocacy is at the heart of ADA’s mission. The organization works at every level—local, state, and federal—to ensure that everyone living with diabetes has access to affordable, quality health care. No one should have to choose between managing their diabetes and paying the bills. The ADA is fighting to ensure that life-saving medications, like insulin, are accessible to all.
Advancing Research for a Cure
Research is the pathway to better treatments and, ultimately, a cure. The ADA continues to fund groundbreaking research and establish clinical guidelines that help advance diabetes care. From innovations in insulin delivery to potential cures, ADA-backed research is making strides toward changing the future of diabetes.
Inspiring Communities to Act
National Diabetes Awareness Month is also about action. The ADA encourages everyone to take part in the movement—whether it’s through donating, volunteering, or spreading awareness. By coming together, we can make a difference in our communities and for our loved ones. Every effort brings us one step closer to a future without diabetes.
How You Can Help
This November, join the movement. Educate yourself and others, advocate for policies that ensure equitable health care, support research through donations, and show solidarity with those living with diabetes. Together, we can push back against this epidemic and help those in need across America.
