We're Putting People First

136 million Americans are living with diabetes or prediabetes. This is a number we can't let continue to grow, especially when some communities still need access to health care and resources for living healthy. Diabetes is the most expensive chronic condition in the United States, and millions of Americans struggle to afford it, including health care, insulin and other medications, and devices to manage their diabetes and associated complications. Here at the American Diabetes Association (ADA), we believe access to health care is a human right. That's why we're fighting to ensure everyone has access to the best possible diabetes care.

From programs like Project Power and ADA Camp to signature fundraising events like Tour de Cure® and Step Out: Walk to Stop Diabetes®, the ADA is actively involved in the community to provide diabetes awareness and education.

The ADA is leading the fight to end diabetes and raising awareness by advocating at the federal, state, and grassroots levels; promoting the need for access to health care; and funding lifesaving research.
