© Causes 2012. Anyone can change the world.
is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose mission is to improve the health and quality of life of women living with or at risk of developing diabetes; and to advocate on their behalf.
By providing women with diabetes opportunities to connect with other women who are living with the disease, we hope to end the isolation women often experience while also increasing diabetes awareness and education.
Why are we focused on women with diabetes? We are focused on women with diabetes because we know that women face different obstacles than men in treating their diabetes. For example, the hormones of puberty, monthly menstruation, pregnancy, and menopause affect us throughout our lives. We also know that women are social and supportive by nature, so providing opportunities to create camaraderie both online and in-person appeal to many women with diabetes.
We welcome supporters of ALL nationalities, backgrounds, socioeconomic status, and sexual orientation, including those who have diabetes and those who do not.
WE NEED YOUR HELP! WON'T YOU JOIN US?
