Nutrition Is Key with Diabetes

While many of us are fortunate to have access to nutritious meals, millions of Americans face roadblocks that prevent them from getting the food they need—which is critical for people with diabetes.

We're fighting to end food insecurity to

empower communities.

Friend,

As we kick off the unofficial start of summer and summertime gatherings, it's important to remember that not everyone has access to the healthy food they need to thrive. For many, food insecurity is a daily reality—one that impacts health, especially for people living with diabetes.

Nutrition is key when it comes to both diabetes prevention and management. That's why the American Diabetes Association® is committed to improving food access to resource-limited communities through outreach efforts like Dion's Chicago Dream, a program that meets people where they are to provide healthy food choices and address food insecurity.

Everyone, regardless of where they live or their circumstances, deserves access to the healthy foods they need to manage their diabetes and thrive. Let's stand firm together to build healthier communities and futures for all.
