Community Overview

Discover the power of diabetes support.

Find the connections you need.

Whether you’re battling diabetes or have a loved one who is, building connections with other people can be the best medicine.

Chances are, there’s some great stuff happening right in your own community, from fundraisers and drives to nearby summer camps and more.

It doesn’t get any better than camp

Camp can be a community lifeline for children living with diabetes and those at risk of developing type 2, as well as for their families. It’s a place where kids can learn independence and develop a new level of self-confidence—all within a safe and fun environment. For 70 years, we’ve run camps across the country serving over 100,000 children and their families. What are you waiting for?
