Everyone agrees that diabetes is a terrible disease. Everyone hopes for a cure. But, until we find a cure what do we do in the meantime for the children affected by this disease? How can we make their lives better? How can we help prevent the complications that this disease causes? How can we help the families that have to deal with a child who must take multiple shots a day, whose meals must be carefully planned and whose every aspect of life revolves around this condition? How can we stop the growing epidemic of Type 2 diabetes and improve the quality of life for those affected by this insidious condition?

The Nevada Diabetes Association is the only organization in Nevada that provides direct services to children, adults and support for families dealing with diabetes. Please click this link for information To Volunteer and for a list of our Board of Directors - Meeting dates/times and Financial
