When I mention the ADA, someone shares their story

Diabetes touches all of us. Let's do something about it.

Celebrating 85 years of research, education, and advocacy. Dear Friend,  I was at the dog park earlier this week when a woman struck up a conversation and asked me what I do for work. When I told her I work for the American Diabetes Association® (ADA), her face lit up. She immediately shared her personal journey with type 2 diabetes—how she's managing it, what's been hard, and what's helped.  This happens all the time. Whether I'm at the grocery store, on a plane, or just making small talk—when I mention the ADA, people open up. They tell me about their parents, their kids, their own diagnosis. Diabetes is everywhere.  And it makes sense. Nearly one in two of us are living with diabetes or prediabetes. That's half of all Americans. It's not just a statistic—it's our neighbors, our coworkers, our families, and maybe even ourselves.  November marks the start of American Diabetes Month®, and it's a time to come together and take action. By donating today, you'll fund life-changing research, advocacy efforts, and support for people living with diabetes—and right now, every gift is matched, dollar for dollar, up to the $150,000 campaign total.  Double My Donation If you've been touched by diabetes—or know someone who has—please donate today.
