Working Together to Fight Diabetes

133 million Americans live with diabetes or prediabetes, many of whom don’t realize it. As that number continues to grow, those from under-resourced communities carry the brunt of its impact. The American Diabetes Association, with support from CVS Health® is tackling the diabetes epidemic head-on.

CVS Health has pledged to support people in the prevention and management of diabetes through increased awareness, resources and community initiatives like Project Power, a diabetes risk reduction and lifestyle change program. With support from CVS Health, we are boldly taking action to improve health outcomes for those disproportionately impacted by diabetes and to drive research that will address the unmet needs and health disparities in communities hit hardest. We are meeting underserved communities where they are to improve the lives of those living with diabetes.

Working to Eliminate Health Disparities

Diabetes can impact anyone. But for some communities, the risk is higher, and the resources are limited. We are taking action to drive discovery and address the unmet needs of communities of color. Learn why research is important as we work to eliminate health disparities in communities disproportionately affected by diabetes.

Making a Difference in the Community

According to the CDC, 33% to 50% of people with diabetes have diabetes distress in any 18-month period, which often leads to lowered diabetes self-care like exercise, medication adherence, and blood glucose checking.

In Indianapolis, thanks to generous donations from CVS Pharmacy customers, we're funding research by Dr. Mary de Groot, a practicing psychologist and professor based out of Indiana University, to develop the Diabetes Tune-Up Group specially designed to improve diabetes distress and A1C levels for Black women.
