Healthcare and Medical News: Diabetes DOUBLES the risk of stroke

Help us fight diabetes-related complications this World Stroke Day.

Your Donation

Can Save Lives

Every three minutes and 11 seconds, someone in the United States dies of stroke—and having diabetes doubles your stroke risk. Your donation brings awareness to help lower the risk and save lives.

Make a Difference

We're in the fight to end diabetes and diabetes-related complications.

Friend, 

Did you know that the risk of having a stroke is two times higher in people with diabetes than in people who don't have diabetes? For 84 years, the American Diabetes Association^® (ADA) has been leading the fight against the deadly consequences of diabetes, including stroke.

World Stroke Day, observed on October 29, brings awareness to this complication. With your help, the ADA can continue to provide lifesaving resources about stroke risk and prevention to reduce its prevalence.

Help Prevent Complications

Donors like you help the ADA continue to fund critical, lifesaving research that impacts millions and reduces complications that can lead to stroke and other associated risks. Your donation today will help:

Support research to find better treatments and reduce severe complications from diabetes
Connect people living with diabetes and their caregivers to resources
Provide education about preventing or delaying the onset of diabetes
Fund critical, lifesaving research in our quest to find a cure

Friend,  your support is critical and gets us closer to a life free of diabetes and all its burdens. Act now and donate today!
