Illinoisans are increasingly feeling the effects of diabetes as thousands of people suffer from the disease, and many others may have diabetes and not know it! It is estimated that one out of every three children born after 2000 in the United States will be directly affected by diabetes.
That is why the American Diabetes Association's Chicago office is so committed to educating the public about how to stop diabetes and support those living with the disease.
We are here to help.
Stop Diabetes Week Declared for June 18 to 25, 2013
This year marks the 73rd Scientific Sessions to held at McCormick Place, Chicago from June 21 to 25, 2013. More than 14,000 top scientists, physicians and other health care professionals from around the world gather each year to share cutting-edge research, treatment recommendations and advances toward a cure for diabetes. With conferences like these the Association is leading the fight to stop diabetes and its deadly consequences, and fighting for all those affected by diabetes.
