The mission of the American Diabetes Association is to prevent and cure diabetes and to improve the lives of all people affected by the disease.

The American Diabetes Association is the nation's leading voluntary organization providing services for all people with diabetes. It provides more than $34 million in funding for diabetes research each year and is the leading source of diabetes information to the public and healthcare providers.

The American Diabetes Association fights on behalf of the diabetes community to increase federal funding for diabetes research and programs, improve comprehensive health care and insurance coverage, and to end discrimination against people with diabetes.
