Observed every November, American Diabetes Month is an important element in the American Diabetes Association’s efforts to focus our nation’s attention on the disease and the tens of millions of people affected by it.
Our 2016 theme is ‘This Is Diabetes.’ We are showcasing real life stories of friends, families and neighbors managing the day-today triumphs and challenges of the disease. Join as we salute the 29 million Americans with diabetes — as well as their loved ones — to raise awareness and to create a sense of urgency about this growing public health crisis.
The campaign invites people to submit their own stories to capture the authenticity of those who understand this disease best. Please bring #ThisIsDiabetes to life.
You can get involved by:
• Share your story, photo or video on social media using #ThisIsDiabetes.
• Become an advocate to help ensure diabetes gets the attention it deserves
• Donate to help make the Association’s critical work possible
• Post: use the new Facebook profile picture frame to tell the world “This Is Diabetes” all month long.
