In My Community

Stop Diabetes® is the American Diabetes Association’s movement to end the devastating toll that diabetes takes on the lives of millions of individuals across our nation. Its goal is to inspire and mobilize the general public, volunteers, donors, corporations and the scientific and medical communities to rally around our cause and our call to "share, act, learn and give."

Through these actions, millions will have the chance to get involved and help raise awareness, promote healthy living and raise money to fund educational outreach, advocacy efforts and critical research that will ultimately stop diabetes once and for all.

Locally, you can get involved in this movement to stop diabetes as well. Here are some ways that you can join the millions and create change in your own community:

• Share your story. Are you affected by diabetes in some way? Share your story with us to help inspire others to make a change.
• Learn about your risk for diabetes. Take the risk test.
• Learn about managing diabetes, eating healthier, exercising right and finding the right treatment to keep you healthy. Register for our Diabetes Expo - it's FREE.
• Act and Advocate for diabetes research and education. Sign up as an advocate today.
• Give by Walking in Step Out to Stop Diabetes or by Cycling in the Tour de Cure. Form a team or participate as an individual. The dollars raised through these events help to fund youth programs, education and awareness in Washington state and vital diabetes research happening locally.
