Drive to Stop Diabetes

Commit to Leading an Active and Healthy Lifestyle.

 

Many NASCAR® fans are affected by diabetes, which puts one out of three Americans at risk for

this life-threatening chronic disease. Diabetes can lead to serious complications such as high blood pressure, heart disease, blindness, neuropathy and more.

NASCAR XFINITY Series® driver Ryan Reed was determined not to allow his diabetes diagnosis to stop him. So far this season Ryan has won at Daytona and currently sits eighth in the XFINITY Series Playoff standings. With consistent physical activity, healthy eating, and a supportive health care team, he perseveres every day to stay healthy and safely on the track. Join Ryan to take control of your health and make diabetes care a priority. Ryan is living proof that with commitment and lifestyle changes, diabetes doesn’t have to prevent you from doing what you love.

Summer is here, which means that barbecue season is as well. Consider replacing a heavier dish while still satisfying your taste buds with a lighter option like these fresh grilled scallops with chunky salsa verde. For more guilt-free summer recipes, check out our Recipes for Healthy Living.

Accept Ryan’s Challenge and commit to leading an active and healthy lifestyle. You can find diabetes management resources, as well as fitness and nutrition tips, to help you get started. And be sure to tell us how you #DriveYourHealth on social media and inspire others to persevere.

The 77th Scientific Sessions

The American Diabetes Association® is dedicated to preventing and curing diabetes. That’s why we hold our annual Scientific Sessions, bringing leaders in diabetes research together to share their findings on treatment, care and innovation. Here are some research highlights from the 77th Scientific Sessions, which took place in June in San Diego.

Please join us in raising awareness for diabetes issues—and (of course) sending best wishes to Ryan Reed and the No. 16 Lilly Diabetes Team for a great rest of the season!
