Daily Reality & Juice Boxes


Diabetes is a daily battle for millions of people.

Andrea, diabetes means always having to carry glucose tablets or a juice box with you, like a security blanket, because you never know when your glucose level may dip dangerously low. It means constantly worrying about your risk of going blind, being nearly twice as likely to develop heart disease or suffer a stroke, and facing an increased risk of amputation. This is the daily reality for the millions of Americans living with diabetes. Diabetes is a dangerous disease. But what’s just as dangerous are the misconceptions most people have about it. Many think diabetes is easy to manage—“no big deal.” Nothing could be further from the truth. The good news is that we can fight back by funding research for better treatments and providing information to help families better manage diabetes.
And today, you can make an even bigger impact in the fight against diabetes. Donate now to have your gift matched dollar-for-dollar, up to the campaign total of $100,000, by a generous donor.
