What Does It Take To Stop DiabetesSM? You!
On November 2, the American Diabetes Association is launching a movement with one audacious goal—to Stop Diabetes. Diabetes is a deadly disease that affects millions and yet, Americans still fail to take diabetes seriously. Through the movement to Stop Diabetes, the Association will elevate the sense of urgency around diabetes and educate the general public about the devastating physical, emotional and financial impact the disease takes on millions of American children and adults each and every day. In year one, our goal is to galvanize a million individuals to Share, Act, Learn and Give. Find out how you can make a difference today. Visit stopdiabetes.com to learn how you can join the movement to Stop Diabetes.
