II-B	The American Diabetes Associations advocacy efforts and achievements are at the core of creating effective and lasting change for people living with, and at risk for, diabetes. The Associations advocacy efforts give people with diabetes, their families, and health care professionals the power to influence public policy issues that affect people with diabetes at the local, state, and national levels. From Capitol Hill to state houses to court houses across the country, the Associations Diabetes Advocates continue to drive momentum in the ongoing fight to Stop Diabetes. The primary goals of the American Diabetes Associations Government Affairs and Advocacy effort are To increase federal and state funding for diabetes prevention, treatment and research - Prevent diabetes through advocacy of increased funding and raising awareness on national, state and local levels - Improve the availability of accessible, adequate and affordable health care - End the discrimination people with diabetes face at school, work and elsewhere in their lives.
II-B	The Association has trained advocates around the country who represent the millions of Americans with diabetes and their families. A growing volunteer network of attorneys, health care professionals, and advanced school advocates help thousands facing discrimination because of their diabetes. In March of 2015, the Association held its Call to Congress advocacy day in Washington, D.C., during which advocates from across the country participated in more than 200 meetings with Members of Congress and their staff. Diabetes Advocates shared their personal diabetes story to put a name and face to the diabetes epidemic, and to make the case for an increased investment to curb the trajectory of the disease. Advocates followed up with over 100 in-district meetings during the August Congressional recess period.
II-B	The Association also participated in 65 state advocacy days, summits, briefings and caucus meetings. The Association succeeded in its efforts to increase federal funding for diabetes research and programs as Congress added over 68 million dallors in annual funding for diabetes research at the National Institute of Healths National Institute of Diabetes, Digestive and Kidney Diseases for total funding of over 1.8 billion dallors increased funding at the Center for Disease Controls Division of Diabetes Translation by 30 million dallors for a total of 170.129 million dallors provided 20 million dallors for the National Diabetes Prevention Program and reauthorized the Special Diabetes Program providing 300 million dallors, half for research on type 1 diabetes and half for programs in American Indian and Alaska Native communities.
II-B	Progress spread across the country with 57 legislative and regulatory victories in the areas of health insurance, fighting discrimination, primary prevention, diabetes programs and surveillance, and state coordination of diabetes. Our Safe at School campaign added Arkansas, Hawaii, and Nevada to the list of states with laws or policies meeting all of the main tenets of the campaign. By the end of the year, 30 states met these tenets, providing access to diabetes care and allowing for appropriate self-management. In all 50 states and the District of Columbia, the Association continued its effort to fight for fairness for people with diabetes at school, on the job, in places of public accommodation, and in government programs and services. The Association continued efforts to monitor and shape implementation of the Affordable Care Act, Medicaid and Medicare through numerous official comments, letters, friend of the court briefs, and meetings with Administration officials.
II-B	The Association continued its focus on underserved and disproportionately affected communities. achieving 10 victories addressing health disparities at the state level, ranging from healthy food financing, to promoting cultural competency in health care professionals, to funding programs and offices aimed at reducing health disparities. Working with the Diabetes Disparities Action Council, we continued to promote public policies to reduce health disparities in the African American, American Indian/Alaska Native, Asian and Pacific Islander, and Latino communities. As part of this work, the Association builds outside support for our advocacy efforts, such as building relationships with strategic partners, including the National Bar Association, National Indian Health Board, Mexican Embassy, and Telemundo.

Part I Line 2	The American Diabetes Association provides grant funding for research grants to the American Diabetes Association Research Foundation. The American Diabetes Association closely monitors the use of all grant funds. Each grantee is required to submit an annual progress report, which includes a scientific and a financial portion, 30 days after the end of each previously committed funding year. Each year of funding after the first is contingent upon approval of the annual progress report and the availability of funds. If the complete report is not received within 90 days after the due date, the award will be terminated.
Part I Line 2	After the completion of the final year of the grant, a cumulative final report, which includes a scientific and financial portion, is due within 60 days after the expiration date of the grant. If the complete final report is not received by the due date, the grantee will not be eligible to apply for any future American Diabetes Association Research Foundation awards until the obligations for the award are complete. This process is monitored and reviewed by the American Diabetes Association scientific/medical management staff for award status and compliance.
Part I Line 2	The American Diabetes Association continues to be the worlds largest provider of camps for children with diabetes to help ensure the wellbeing of families affected by diabetes. The Association provides grants, scholarships and targeted youth programs for persons with diabetes. Each summer, thousands of children have the opportunity to spend time at Diabetes Camp, meeting other children with diabetes and sharing their experiences, challenges, hopes, and dreams. In 2015, the American Diabetes Association hosted 58 camp sessions in 25 states serving nearly 6,000 campers with Type I Type 2 diabetes. In addition, more than 2,000 volunteers made camp possible by donating their time and expertise. Camp provides an outdoor recreational experience in which the child for children with diabetes ages 8-18 can develop as a person while including informal education about the management of diabetes. Children are carefully supervised by a staff of doctors, nurses, dietitians, and other volunteers and staff. Program Evaluation and outcome measurement provide valuable data to the Association regarding camp programs and how to improve them. An assessment/planning meeting including camp volunteers and staff leadership is held within two months of the conclusion of the camp session. At this time, camp results are evaluated and compared to goals. The strengths and weaknesses of the camp program, opportunities for growth and improvement, emerging issues and needs and the viability of continuation/initiation of new programs are evaluated. The American Diabetes Association also provides grants to support Advocacy program. In 2015, the Association again awarded grant funds to The National Council of Asian Pacific Islander Physicians NCAPIP. The grant contribution was made in recognition of the coalitions outstanding work to address the disparate impact of diabetes on vulnerable populations. The Association monitors the use of the funds by maintaining an on-going communication and periodic financial reports.
Part II Line 2	The American Diabetes Association is committed to preventing diabetes. The Diabetes Prevention Program DPP was a major multicenter clinical research study, funded in part by the American Diabetes Association, aimed at discovering whether modest weight loss through dietary changes and increased physical activity or treatment with the oral diabetes drug metformin Glucophage could prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes in study participants. The DPP found that participants who lost a modest amount of weight through dietary changes and increased physical activity sharply reduced their chances of developing diabetes. Taking metformin also reduced risk, although less dramatically. The DPPs results indicate that millions of people at high-risk for developing type 2 diabetes can delay or avoid developing type 2 diabetes by losing weight through regular physical activity and a diet low in fat and calories. Weight loss and physical activity lower the risk of diabetes by improving the bodys ability to use insulin and process glucose. The DPP contributed to a better understanding of how diabetes develops in people at risk and how they can prevent or delay the development of diabetes by making behavioral changes leading to weight loss. These findings are reflected in recommendations from the American Diabetes Association for the prevention or delay of type 2 diabetes, which stress the importance of lifestyle changes, and weight loss. Building on the success of the DPP, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention CDC led National Diabetes Prevention Program is an evidence-based lifestyle change program for preventing type 2 diabetes. The year-long program helps participants make real lifestyle changes such as eating healthier, incorporating physical activity into their daily lives and improving problem-solving and coping skills. The American Diabetes Association is collaborating with the Florida Department of Health to provide support, technical assistance and mini-grants to Florida-based Diabetes Prevention Lifestyle Change DPLC accredited programs, or pending accreditation, by the CDC. Funded wholly by a grant from the Florida Department of Health, the goals of this initiative are 1 to increase the number of DPLC program participants with a blood-based prediabetes diagnosis 2 to increase the number of DPLC program participants achieving 5-7 weight loss and 3 to increase the number of health care practices that have a policy to refer patients with or at risk for prediabetes to DPLC programs.
Part III Line 1 and 2	Each year, the American Diabetes Association recognizes the outstanding contributions of individuals in the service of the diabetes community through its National Achievement Awards. These awards are presented to recognize and honor individuals in the diabetes scientific and medical community who have demonstrated exceptional leadership and who have made significant contributions through their outstanding career achievements. Philipp E. Scherer, PhD received 20,000 for being the key investigator in the discovery of insulin. Pere Puigserver, PhD received 10,000 for an outstanding scientific achievement in diabetes research, taking into consideration independence of thought, originality, significance of discovery, and impact on his/her area of research. Richard N. Bergman, PhD received 5,000 for an outstanding achievement in mentorship and/or creation of a robust environment for diabetes research.

Form 990, Part III, Line 4	75 Years of Progress in the Fight Against Diabetes
Form 990, Part III, Line 4	Did you know that in the United States, diagnosed diabetes has increased by 350 percent in the last 30 years Thats 1.4 million Americans diagnosed every year. Diabetes literally touches everyone. It is dangerous, invasive and unrelenting. Its a chronic disease that spans all ages and walks of life, but targets children, the elderly and minority populations more than others. It costs the United States billions of dollars each year in lost productivity. It is a global epidemic.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4	Today nearly 30 million adults and children in the U.S. have diabetes-nearly 10 percent of the population. To make matters worse, 8.1 million of those 30 million dont even know that they have the disease. And yet another troubling trend is emerging. Type 2 diabetes, whose risk factors include a sedentary lifestyle and being overweight, is seen increasingly in children. In fact, between 2002 and 2009, there was a 35 percent increase in type 2 among adolescents. Research suggests that type 2 diabetes behaves differently in children than in adults-progressing more rapidly and aggressively.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4	The American Diabetes Association is the only organization dedicated specifically to the research, education and advocacy required to improve the lives of all Americans with diabetes. For 75 years, we have been working on the frontlines to educate at-risk populations, protect the rights of people with diabetes at work, school and other aspects of daily life, pioneer clinical and research breakthroughs and foster a pipeline of the best and brightest scientists. From research labs to the halls of the Capitol to the offices of health care practitioners to communities nationwide, we are there. We envision a life free of diabetes and all its burdens, which is fueled by our mission to prevent and cure diabetes and to improve the lives of all people affected by diabetes.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4	Diabetes Research
Form 990, Part III, Line 4	Accelerating Progress toward the Next Big Discovery Diabetes is an extremely complex disease, caused by a combination of various genetic and environmental factors that progressively lead to an inability to produce or effectively utilize insulin. The complexity of causes conspiring to diminish the bodys production or response to insulin, leading to high blood glucose and eventual development of diabetes, makes finding a single cure particularly difficult. While a cure has been elusive, critical research efforts in recent decades have led to significantly improved patient care, resulting in fewer complications and better health outcomes for individuals with diabetes.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4	As a leader in diabetes research, and the only organization dedicated specifically to the research, education and advocacy required to improve the lives of all people with diabetes, the American Diabetes Association funds critical, innovative diabetes research and invests in promising scientists early in their careers. Our direct involvement in diabetes research extends back to the 1940s when Dr. Charles H. Best, one of four scientists credited with discovering insulin, provided the Association with the framework and early leadership for a formalized diabetes research program.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4	Since our Research Programs inception in 1952, we have been the leader in funding cutting-edge diabetes research, supporting nearly 4,500 research projects and investing more than 735 million in diabetes research. In 2015, the Association made more than 31 million available to support 354 new and continuing research projects at 144 leading research institutions. The supported projects cover the broad spectrum of research approaches including basic, clinical and translational science and address all types of diabetes, diabetes-related disease states and complications.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4	The primary goals of the Associations Research Program are Support the highest quality science across the broad spectrum of diabetes research. Support investigators early in their careers to encourage them to dedicate their efforts to diabetes research. Support innovative research with a high potential to have a significant impact for patients with diabetes.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4	Peer Review Process One of the factors that sets American Diabetes Association-funded research apart and ensures that we are supporting the very best science is peer review. Peer review is a process whereby grant applications are reviewed and evaluated by individuals who are experts in the field or peers of the individual submitting the grant. Association grant applications all undergo peer review by three or more volunteer experts who are themselves diabetes researchers. Reviewers provide both a score and detailed comments regarding the strengths and weaknesses of each grant they review. Scores from all reviewers for each grant are averaged to arrive at a composite merit score that is then used to determine which grants to support.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4	Types of Research Awards Research awards are divided into four major categories that reflect our research goals and priorities, provide extraordinary opportunities for researchers from diverse backgrounds, and foster the professional development of young scientists interested in diabetes research. The categories are Investigator-Initiated Awards Core Program Pathway to Stop Diabetes Collaborative Targeted Research and Research Co-Support. Approximately 80 percent of American Diabetes Association-funded research falls under the Core Research Awards. In 2015, the Association moved to a single annual grant application cycle for its Core Research Program, featuring a streamlined grant portfolio. A total of 729 research grant applications were submitted. From those applications, 35 post-doctoral fellowships and 50 research and development grants were selected for funding.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4	Research Program Outcomes According to a 2015 retrospective Outcomes Research survey, American Diabetes Association-funded researchers show an exemplary commitment to advancing their careers within the field of diabetes research. Within five years of their award
Form 990, Part III, Line 4	99 percent remain in diabetes research Average more than five publications per award 92 percent receive subsequent funding to continue their research efforts Subsequent funding amounted to a total of 260.2 million, which is 7.36 for every 1 invested by the American Diabetes Association
Form 990, Part III, Line 4	Pathway to Stop Diabetes Launched in 2013, the American Diabetes Associations Pathway to Stop Diabetes initiative aims to inspire a new generation of diabetes researchers who are early in their career or are established but would like to expand their focus on diabetes research. Through awards of 1.625 million over the course of five to seven years, the program allows researchers to have the time and focus needed to explore new ideas. With a goal of funding 100 new diabetes researchers over the next decade, Pathway provides crucial support to individuals focusing on innovative ideas and transformational approaches that will lead to new discoveries in diabetes prevention and treatment. Importantly, Pathway is in addition to ongoing Association research activities and is significantly expanding our research efforts.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4	Six new Pathway scientists began their research projects in January 2015. During the 2015 calendar year these new awardees, along with the initial five Pathway scientists, collectively published nine high-impact publications, gave more than 40 presentations at scientific meetings, presented 32 invited lectures and filed one patent application. Two Pathway Scientists earned faculty promotions. This level of accomplishment from just 11 individuals is exceptional. The second annual Pathway to Stop Diabetes Symposium was held at the American Diabetes Associations 75th Scientific Sessions in Boston, bringing together the Mentor Advisory Group, program sponsors and Association leadership to meet the Pathway scientists and hear firsthand about their exciting projects and discoveries. The third annual Pathway to Stop Diabetes grant competition also took place in 2015. The Mentor Advisory Group reviewed 103 outstanding nominations and selected six new Pathway Awardees who began their grants in January 2016. These new awardees bring the Pathway scientist cohort up to 17 outstanding investigators.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4	2015 Research Highlights American Diabetes Association-supported researchers made significant progress in understanding how diabetes develops and progresses, and in identifying new ways to combat the disease. Notable advances include the development of a smart insulin patch that uses nanotechnology to successfully regulate blood glucose levels in laboratory mice studies uncovering new links between cognitive health and prediabetes and a better understanding of how diabetes during pregnancy affects the offsprings health. Boehringer Ingelheim provided support for a targeted research initiative addressing unmet research needs in the area of treating diabetes in the setting of chronic kidney disease and renal insufficiency. This initiative resulted in 81 submissions, and three grants were awarded in April 2015 that will build the evidence base informing clinical practice for people with diabetes complicated by kidney disease.

Form 990, Part III, Line 4	Youth and Diabetes Reaching Type 1 Diabetes Families For children living with type 1 diabetes, the everyday challenges of being a kid must be balanced with the management of a disease that is constant, demanding and scary. They walk a tightrope between blood glucose levels that are too high and those that are too low-both of which can be life-threatening. Because type 1 diabetes is a life-long disease and challenges vary at every stage of life, the American Diabetes Association strives to reach those with type 1 diabetes with relevant programs throughout their life-from early diagnosis through adulthood and advanced management. We provide targeted youth programs including Family Link, which connects families to expert guidance, peer support and tools, Diabetes Camps, and other social and educational activities.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4	In 2015 we created the first national Type 1 Diabetes Program Team which developed a strategy for future programming that intends to cover type 1 diabetes needs across the lifespan. More than 36,000 children and family members attended our youth and family events in 2015, including diabetes camps and camp open house, social and educational events, and leadership councils. We distributed more than 3,225 Everyday Wisdom kits. The kits are designed to help families of children newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes live with diabetes every day.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4	Diabetes Camps The American Diabetes Association continues to be the worlds largest provider of camps for children with diabetes. Our Diabetes Camps have become one of the most powerful and life-changing avenues to improve the lives of children affected by diabetes. Offered each summer to nearly 6,000 youth with diabetes across the U.S., the overarching purpose of our Diabetes Camps is to promote diabetes self-care in an environment thats fun, peer oriented and medically safe. Since 1947, these camps have provided a traditional summer camp experience while giving children the chance to master basic diabetes self-management skills. At camp, children connect with peers facing the same daily struggles, build their confidence and overcome feelings of isolation and despair. Some campers learn how to inject insulin and count their own carbohydrates for the first time, while others advance their skills in insulin pump use.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4	One camper explains the magic of camp Six days to be just like everyone else. Ive had diabetes for 13 years now and sometimes its hard to find people that I can relate to. Its tough to feel like youre the only person in the world who has to deal with this, but then you go to camp. Camp to me is a place where I feel safe and people understand what Im going through.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4	2015 Diabetes Camp Highlights We hosted 58 Camp sessions in 25 states serving nearly 6,000 campers. Four of the camp sessions hosted children at risk of developing type 2 diabetes, teaching the importance of nutrition and physical activity and making an impact on the growing number of teens at risk of developing the disease. 2015 marked the completion of a three-year outcomes study on the ADA Diabetes Camp Program, reinforcing the knowledge that camp is making a difference in the lives of children living with diabetes. Newly diagnosed Campers appear to benefit the most from their experience, with 19 percent of recently diagnosed youth showing improvement in their ability to manage diabetes-related problems. A 10 percent increase in overall ability to self-manage problems related to diabetes management A 10 percent increase in campers who are confident to manage their diabetes, with the greatest improvements among the newly diagnosed 16 percent increase An 11 percent increase of overall knowledge of proper diabetes management Through grants from Lilly Diabetes and The Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust, we were able to award more than 347,000 dallors in camperships financial aid to help families pay for camp. An additional grant of 450,000 dallors was awarded by The Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust for the 2016-2018 period. More than 3,000 volunteers and staff worked at Camp in 2015. About 40 percent of those are health care professionals. We hosted a training conference, funded by a grant from The Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust, for Association staff responsible for camp and key volunteers. The conference focused on the growth and development of our camp program and emphasized the importance of safety and risk management at camp. A National Camp Medical Team was formed to manage major medical and behavioral policies for the ADA Diabetes Camp Program. We developed and initiated a standard emergency management protocol system during the 2015 camp season.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4	Living With Type 2 Diabetes Our Living With Type 2 Diabetes program LWT2D enrolled a total of 89,301 new participants, bringing the total number of registrants to 559,896. We distributed more than 355,850 copies of the Where Do I Begin booklets and added nearly 2,500 new participating primary care providers. With a 35 percent order rate for the booklet, 96 percent of health care providers reported they are very satisfied with its content. LWT2D offers primary care providers a free resource to give to their patients at diagnosis, while supporting people newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes via a series of digital or print information packets in either English or Spanish to help them navigate their first year with the disease.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4	Professional Education The primary goal of our professional education program is to affect the quality of treatment and improve patient outcomes for people with diabetes by providing quality education for those health care professionals who provide their care.

For those diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, there may be feelings of guilt or responsibility for the illness. And for those with type 1 diabetes, especially for the parents of these young patients, there is real fear and concern for a childs safety, opportunities and the changes that this lifelong disease will bring. All of these feelings can be paralyzing and can affect how patients comply with physician recommendations. Similarly, people who are at risk for developing type 2 diabetes may struggle to take the necessary, proactive steps to prevent diabetes. The American Diabetes Association is leading a multi-faceted call to action via targeted public awareness efforts and education programs. We are committed to helping individuals cope with the emotional and health burdens of diabetes-and prevent diabetes-by making diabetes education accessible for all. We are especially focused on reaching underserved and at-risk populations who often face real barriers to accessing this information. Our goal is to ease the burden for patients and families by translating the science for the people and bringing it to them in the places where they live, work and play.

Form 990, Part III, Line 4	Reaching At-Risk Populations Over the years, we have established targeted, culturally sensitive programs and materials to better reach populations that are disproportionally affected by type 2 diabetes. These include at-risk populations such as African Americans, Latinos, Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders, American Indians and Alaska Natives, older adults as well as communities in the so called diabetes belt in the Southeast and Appalachia, a region where the incidence of diabetes is significantly higher than the national average. In addition, rates of diabetes in the Latino community are almost double those of non-Latino whites while African Americans are 1.7 times more likely to develop diabetes compared to non-Latino whites. In some Native American communities, one in two adults has diabetes. To help curb this inequity, we have targeted community-based programs in place, working closely with civic, social, faith-based and health care representatives within these communities. We also frequently partner with other community and health organizations and host the Disparities Partnership Forum. Our community-based, grassroots approach is what makes our programs effective. Our outreach efforts include the following highlights for 2015
Form 990, Part III, Line 4	We reached more than 317,000 African Americans, more than 166,000 Hispanic/Latinos, more than 2,500 American Indian/Alaska Natives and more than 1,700 Asian American/Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islanders through field programs.

Form 990, Part III, Line 4	Advocacy Speaking Up for All People with Diabetes Its difficult to imagine what it is like to be told you cant go back to school because you have diabetes. Its especially difficult when you are four years old and school is your refuge from the medical and financial challenges your family faces at home. But this is exactly what happened to Marissa after she was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Though federal law requires that children like Marissa be provided equal opportunity for an education, her Head Start program said she could no longer attend school because they would not care for her. After many months of struggling, Marissas grandmother contacted the American Diabetes Association. She worked with one of our Legal Advocates who informed her of her legal rights and connected her with a volunteer lawyer who filed a lawsuit to get Marissa back in school. Five months later, Marissa returned to school.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4	The American Diabetes Associations advocacy efforts and achievements are at the core of creating effective and lasting change for people living with and at risk for diabetes. Raising our voices from Capitol Hill to state houses to court houses across the country, our dedicated Diabetes Advocates continue to drive momentum in our ongoing fight to Stop Diabetes. Our advocacy work gives people with diabetes, their families and health care professionals the power to influence public policy issues that affect people with diabetes at the local, state and national levels. Our primary goals are to increase federal and state funding for diabetes prevention, treatment and research to prevent diabetes to improve the availability of accessible, adequate and affordable health care to end the discrimination people with diabetes face at school, work and elsewhere in their lives.
Form 990, Part III, Line 4	We have trained advocates around the country who represent those with diabetes who need a raised voice to protect their rights.

Form 990, Part III, Line 4	Expanded Success in the Safe at School Campaign Through legislative victories in Arkansas, Hawaii and Nevada, three more states meet the key tenets of the Associations Safe at School campaign by providing access to insulin and glucagon and appropriate diabetes self-management. An attempt to undo legislation in Indiana was successfully defeated. Over the past four years, we added 15 states to the list of those providing these important protections for children with diabetes-surpassing our Strategic Plan goal by three states. Four Advanced School Advocacy Trainings added 57 new school advocates to the ranks of those providing workshops and support for families across the country. Public awareness of Safe at School is on the rise, through a variety of channels, including Safe at School Twitter Chat garnering 4.7 million impressions posts on Safe at School, including back to school tips in U.S. New and World Reports monthly diabetes blog and an October New York Times article about diabetes and discrimination at School, featured the Safe at School initiative and was included in the papers list of Medical and Health News That Stuck With Us in 2015.

When a parent doesnt have to hear that their child has an incurable disease that brings with it not only sleepless nights, but constant fears about possible complications and diabetes-related discrimination. When nobody has to worry anymore about blood glucose highs and lows and whether that blurred vision is the beginning of a life without sight. When a family can gather at a family reunion and create happy memories instead of having to gather at a graveside and saying goodbye to a loved one who has lost their battle against diabetes. We know that, together, we can stop this dreadful disease and realize our vision life free of diabetes and all its burdens. Learn more at diabetes.org and stopdiabetes.com.
