Managing blood glucose (blood sugar) levels, facing high medical costs, maintaining an exercise routine, and more can lead to diabetes burnout. Here’s how you can help support people living with diabetes.
Stand with us to protect the mental health of people living with diabetes.
Friend,
Receiving a diabetes diagnosis can cause a wave of emotions, from anger to sadness and confusion to depression. This National Self-Care Awareness Month, our goal at the American Diabetes Association® (ADA) is to let the 136 million Americans with diabetes or prediabetes know they aren’t alone.
We help them through research that improves treatments and technologies, advocacy that fights for their rights, and programs to guide them in the right direction. But we still know there’s work to do, which is why we’re asking for your support today.
Provide programs like Project Power to help foster healthy lifestyle changes in at-risk communities
Make healthy eating and regular physical activity easier through online resources and tools
Ensure everyone has equal access to the health care they need by making strides in health equity initiatives
Provide under-resourced communities and caregivers with diabetes resources and education
Although we have made significant strides, the work is far from over. Self-care starts from within, but we need your help to make these programs and resources widely available so they know where to start.
Your donation today can help us combat diabetes discrimination and provide resources to aid with diabetes management, care, and prevention until the day diabetes becomes a thing of the past. Donate today to help those living with diabetes make their health a priority.
