Project Power | American Diabetes Association

No shame.
No blame.
Just one aim.

You didn't ask to live with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes and shouldn't feel guilty if you do. Project Power has always been here for kids, ages 5–12. Now Project Power is here for those 18 years or older. We're here to help the whole family.

You're never too young or old to lower your diabetes risk.

Diabetes is a disease to be talked about, not feared. Because the more you understand, the easier it is to manage. If you or a family member is at risk, Project Power is here to make living healthy second nature for both adults and kids living with prediabetes and type 2 diabetes.

Are you at risk?

Know your risk. Change your future.

One quick, simple test can help you understand if you are at risk for developing type 2 diabetes. With that knowledge and a little work, you can actually manage your risk and take back your life.

The path to understanding diabetes starts here.

No matter where you are in your fight, here’s where you need to be.
