We serve San Diego, Imperial Valley, Riverside and San Bernadino Counties

Over 429,000 people in our territory suffer from diabetes and many others may have diabetes and don't know it! It is estimated that one out of every three children born after 2000 in the United States will be directly affected by diabetes.

That is why the American Diabetes Association's Greater San Diego Area office is so committed to educating the public about how to stop diabetes and support those living with the disease. We have many programs tailored to the Latino, Native American and youth in the area we serve.

We offer a great menu of local programs as well as exciting and inspiring local events. We encourage you to get involved to see what services we offer.

Step Out: Walk to Stop Diabetes

Walking is one of the easiest, most relaxing forms of exercise for many people, but especially for those living with diabetes. Walking helps control blood glucose levels in people with diabetes and improves overall quality of life. It is also an activity that can help prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes. Join us as we walk to stop diabetes.
