Diabetes poses one of the largest challenges to healthcare today: Nearly 1 in 10 Americans have diabetes, we spend 245 billion dollars on diabetes in the country every year, and diabetes is the 7th leading cause of death in America. And that’s just the United States – by the year 2035, it’s projected that over 776 million people in the world will have diabetes. This is why we founded the diaTribe Foundation in 2012. We work to improve the lives of people living with diabetes and prediabetes, and advocate for action.

We have deep insight into the patient experience and have our fingers on the pulse of research and treatments. At diaTribe, we are raising awareness about diabetes to make care and research more impactful through education, advocacy, and connecting in the following ways:

Education: The diaTribe Foundation publishes diaTribe, an educational resource for people impacted by diabetes, written by people impacted by diabetes. Our educational content helps people with diabetes, prediabetes, and obesity better manage their disease. We educate and encourage people to live more healthily and to ultimately improve their quality of life.
 
Advocacy: The diaTribe Foundation hopes to act as a leading patient advocate in some of the highest arenas of diabetes policy, industry, providers, and the public. Our founder, Kelly Close, is a well-known diabetes advocate who has spoken on behalf of patients at the FDA, industry meetings, and more.

Connecting: We aim to help unite the diabetes landscape by bringing together key players in diabetes and fostering a new culture of accountability across the board. We encourage people affected by diabetes to connect and join the conversation.
