Virginians 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! Approximately 1.9 million Virginians battle diabetes and prediabetes every day. It is estimated that one in three Americans will have diabetes by the year 2050, if current trends continue.

That is why the American Diabetes Association's Central Virginia 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.
