Advocate

Life isn't fair for people with diabetes.

First, there is the simple fact of coping with a chronic illness.

Second, there are the barriers that prevent people with diabetes from enjoying the same opportunities as the rest of the population.

Our funded research works to stop the illness.

Our Advocacy programs work to bring down the barriers.
