Awareness campaigns

American Diabetes Month

November is American Diabetes Month, a time to bring even greater awareness and attention to the seriousness of diabetes, its deadly complications, and the importance of proper diabetes control. Throughout the month, the ADA conducts activities and encourages others across the country to get involved in efforts to raise awareness about diabetes.[35]

American Diabetes Alert Day

The American Diabetes Alert Day is an annual one-day event to inform the American public about the seriousness of diabetes.[36] Observed each year on the fourth Tuesday of March, Alert Day is a time when the ADA encourages people to take the Diabetes Risk Test and find out if they, or their loved ones, are at risk for developing type 2 diabetes.[37]

Publications

The ADA works with experts to publish a variety of informational books, magazines and journals for both medical professionals and consumers.
