The Foundation is focused on reducing the serious medical consequences of diabetes and alleviating the illness and suffering that accompany this disease."
American Association of Diabetes Educators
"A multi-disciplinary professional membership organization dedicated to advancing the practice of diabetes self-management training and care as integral components of health care for persons with diabetes, and lifestyle management for the prevention of diabetes."
"The mission of the Association is to prevent and cure diabetes and to improve the lives of all people affected by diabetes. To fulfill this mission, the American Diabetes Association funds research, publishes scientific findings, provides information and other services to people with diabetes, their families, health professionals and the public. The Association is also actively involved in advocating for scientific research and for the rights of people with diabetes."
"Diabetesatwork.org can help businesses and managed care companies to assess the impact of diabetes in the workplace. It also provides easy-to-understand information for employers to help their employees manage their diabetes and take steps toward reducing the risk for diabetes-related complications such as heart disease."
"This practical resource is designed to help health care providers across the country make a difference in the way diabetes is prevented and treated."
"This site was founded by Brendan Hannemann of Troop 1140, Springfield, Virginia, for his Eagle Scout project. It was supported principally by his family, Scouts and Scouters from Troop 1140, and by Kathleen M. Link, M.D., F.A.A.P., Northern Virginia Endocrinologists.
"Here you can find out about diabetes in terms you can understand, not Doctorese. While all of the material has been cleared by a real doctor who specializes in working with children who have diabetes, it was written and tested by kids - some who have diabetes, just like you."
"We provide information to help people with diabetes care for their condition. Articles are written by editorial board members such as Martha Funnell (1999 American Diabetes Association Educator of the Year) and Hope Warshaw (Nationally Recognized Author on diabetes & nutrition)."
