People in Connecticut are increasingly feeling the effects of diabetes as 294,000 Connecticut residents suffer from this disease, and many others may have diabetes and not know it! It is estimated that one out of every three people born after 2000 in the United States will be directly affected by diabetes, and every 17 seconds another person is diagnosed.
That is why the American Diabetes Association's Hartford 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.
