In My Community

Learning to live with diabetes doesn't happen overnight – and you don't have to do it alone. That's why the American Diabetes Association is here for your family when you need us most – every day.

In the Pittsburgh area, we offer a number of social and support programs for families, including:

Planet D

Kids, teens, and tweens only - This is your place to explore more about diabetes, discover new things about yourself, and connect with new friends. Planet D offers the chance for newly diagnosed teens/families to interact with others living with diabetes, educate themselves, and prepare for treatment.

You can find out about all of the fun social events and fundraisers in the Pittsburgh Area on our Community Calendar.
