Grants&Camps
We award Educational grants to improve diabetic control and health, through education, learning new techniques, and develop more self-reliance and self-esteem. Diabetes Camps have previously been awarded grants to administer programs for children.
Educational Seminars&Confrences
We host Education Seminars and Conferences for the public aimed at teaching people about diabetes care, new advances in dibetes research, and potential treatments.
Research
We support Research that is aimed at finding a cure for diabetes.
Youth Group and Family Support Teams
For children with diabetes, it is extremely difficult to take care of themselves, and to cope with complications and the stress of improving blood sugar control.
We sponsor Youth Group and Family Support Teams where children with Diabetes and families that are also coping and dealing with Diabetes can build friendships and share their experiences.
Free Nutrition Consultations
Good nutrition is the building block for good control of Juvenille and Adult onset Diabetes. Many people can not afford nutrition consults which may not be paid by third party insurers and many people find it difficult to go during the week work day. Thus we are offering free nutrition consultations on weekends during the year.
Diabetes Newletter
Our newsletter briefly describes new advances in diabetes research and ways people can improve their health.
