May is Mental Health Awareness Month.

Friend,

People with diabetes are two to three times more likely to have depression than those without. Managing blood glucose (blood sugar), dealing with high medical expenses, planning meals, eating the right foods, and making sure to stay active can all become overwhelming, leading to what many call "diabetes burnout."

This Mental Health Awareness Month, the American Diabetes Association^® (ADA) aims to help with the mental load by:

Connecting people to mental health care professionals who are specially trained to treat diabetes burnout. Learn more here

Supporting national, local, and grassroots advocacy efforts that:

Ensure health care access for all
Fight for insulin affordability and other financial burdens

Providing resources to aid with diabetes management, care, and prevention
Funding critical research to improve the lives of people affected by diabetes

The impact of diabetes on mental health can't be ignored, but with your help, we can ensure that no one faces these challenges alone. And thanks to a generous donor, for a limited time all gifts to the ADA will be matched dollar for dollar up to a campaign total of $200,000.
