Empowering Health, One Life at a Time
Diabetes Health Foundation Mission Statement:
At the Diabetes Health Foundation, our goal is to improve the lives of individuals affected by prediabetes and diabetes through research education, support, advocacy, and research. We are committed to empowering people with diabetes and metabolic problems to lead healthy and fulfilling lives. New estimates show that up to 90 percent of adults have prediabetes, diabetes or insulin resistance.
Building a Healthier Future Together
Together, we aim to create a world where everyone affected by diabetes has the knowledge, resources, and support they need to have healthy lives.
Advancing Diabetes Care Through
Research and Support
DHI is seeking new ways to better educate people about the epidemic of diabetes, metabolic disorders, nutrition, exercise, stress management, obesity and chronic diseases. Our research has also carefully and deeply studied neurodegenerative diseases such as ALS, Parkinson’s disease, sporadic Inclusion Body Myositis, Alzheimer’s Disease, and dementia, and ways to curb the progression of these often fatal diseases that currently do not have solutions. Because of our work with these neurological diseases, we have found ways to increase endurance, promote wellness, and antiaging research. Diabetes and Prediabetes are more than just a sugar problem; they are metabolic disorders of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins linked to many disease states.
According to the Health Care Financing Administration and other sources, Health Care costs are 1 in every 7 dollars spent and comprise of over $2 trillion per year in the United States. Prediabetes and Diabetes have the highest price tag. Prediabetes Fact: 97 million Americans are insulin resistant, and millions more have metabolic impairment or prediabetes; yet most are unaware.
DHI specializes in research to find hidden diabetes and prediabetes. We are also working to find new ways to monitor these diseases and new treatment options.
Your support will also help our diabetes prevention program.
