Maryland

Did you know that here in Maryland an estimated 481,290 people, or 10% of the population, now have diabetes. Of these, 139,000 of them have diabetes and simply do not know it. In addition, 1,600,000 people in Maryland or a staggering 33.7% of the population, have prediabetes. It is our mission to educate those living with diabetes and prediabetes as well as to prevent more people from getting diabetes.

Michigan

People in Michigan are increasingly feeling the effects of diabetes as more than 964,000 residents have diabetes and many others may have diabetes and not know it! It is estimated that one out of every three children born after 2000 in the United States will be directly affected by diabetes.

That is why the American Diabetes Association's Michigan office is so committed to educating the public about how to stop diabetes and support those living with the disease.
