The Control Your Diabetes. For Life. campaign messages have reached well over 50 million people and have won numerous communications and public health awards.

Our materials for people with diabetes and their social supporters give people concrete tips for controlling diabetes and have been distributed to thousands of patients and providers.

Our Feet Can Last a Lifetime Kit and Diabetes at-a-Glance reference cards have been promoted widely by our partner organizations and are in heavy demand by health care professionals.

Finally, we have brought all of the leading diabetes organizations and key health professionals groups to the table along with leading organizations that represent the ethnic and racial minorities that are disproportionately affected by diabetes.
