Today, one in nine people living in Arizona have diabetes and the medical costs associated with caring for those people is over $4.4 billion every year. Arizonans are increasingly feeling the effects of diabetes as thousands of people suffer from the disease. In many cases, people who have diabetes do not even know that they do! Unfortunately, it is estimated that one out of every three children born after 2000 in the United States will be directly affected by diabetes. The American Diabetes Association can provide resources for you and your family about all types of diabetes as well as information for caregivers and others affected indirectly by the disease.
The American Diabetes Association's Phoenix office is so committed to educating our communities about how to Stop Diabetes and supporting those living with the disease. More than 200 volunteers and staff members work tirelessly each day to coordinate advocacy efforts, educational programs, and fundraising events to Stop Diabetes. In fact, the American Diabetes Association funds over $1.8 million of research in the state of Arizona. To get involved, attend one of our many events and programs or contact us for volunteer opportunities in your area.
If you would like more information about diabetes, call 1-800-DIABETES. We are here to help!
