Arizonans are increasingly feeling the effects of diabetes. Today, one in nine people living in Arizona have diabetes - this amounts to nearly 500,000 Arizonans affected by diabetes. In 2012 alone, the estimated cost of diagnosed diabetes was $245 billion. 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 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. 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 (800-342-2383). We are here to help!
