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 in people at risk.

Join thousands of others affected by both type 1 and type 2 diabetes at one of our Step Out Walk locations.Together we can stop diabetes.
