Diabetes is the most expensive chronic condition in the nation. |
|
|
|
The financial burden of diabetes is staggering. People with diagnosed diabetes account for one of every four health care dollars spent in the U.S. On average, their medical costs are 2.6 times higher than people without diabetes. This includes direct costs such as office visits, medications, and supplies, as well as indirect costs like productivity loss or the inability to work. |
The American Diabetes Association® can make progress for people living with diabetes with research, programs, and advocacy. But we need your help. |
|
|
|
Here are a few ways your donation can make a difference: |

|
|
Provide education and programs to empower people with diabetes to manage their condition effectively. |
|
|
Advocate for access to care to ensure people with diabetes have the resources they need. |
|
|
Diabetes affects almost every family in America and is a costly crisis we can’t ignore. Your support is urgent so we can continue this lifesaving work to put an end to diabetes and all its burdens, once and for all. |
