About Us

Our mission is to prevent and cure diabetes and to improve the lives all people affected by diabetes. At the American Diabetes Association, we are united to defeat diabetes. We are people with diabetes and their friends and family members, volunteers, researchers, health care professional, and advocates. Together, we will be relentless, concentrating our time, talents, and resources on these three strategic priorities to defeat diabetes:

•Drive Discovery: Through research, partnerships, and innovation, we will drive discoveries to prevent, manage and ultimately cure diabetes.

•Raise Voice: We will intensify the urgency around the diabetes epidemic and mobilize bold action through advocacy and engagement.

•Support People: We will provide new, effective resources for individuals and populations living with and at risk of developing diabetes and for the health care professional serving them, and offer those resources when, where and how they are needed.
