This Hispanic Heritage Month, we’re taking time to celebrate the achievements of our Hispanic researchers, like Jose Aleman, MD, PhD. Because Hispanic/Latino people in America have a 50% greater chance of living with diabetes and related complications, Dr. Aleman’s work looks to identify potential health disparities to help the community gain equitable access to modern diabetes and weight-loss medications. 

The American Diabetes Association^® (ADA) and our dedicated researchers are fighting to achieve health equity for ALL and bring about the end of the diabetes epidemic. But the fight is far from over.  

With your donation, we can make more research projects like  
Dr. Aleman’s possible to advance diabetes prevention and care. 

A generous contribution from you today will help the ADA continue to fund projects like these and will:  

• Provide educational resources and programs to communities at risk 
• Advocate for equitable access to diabetes care and medications 
• Fund groundbreaking research to improve treatment options 
• Raise awareness about diabetes prevention and management 

Friend, your donation can make a tangible difference for millions. It takes all of us to end the diabetes epidemic and make this disease a thing of the past! Can we count on your support to help build a healthy future for all?
