Through ADA Camps, I have seen firsthand what parents and caregivers go through to protect their children's health and mental wellbeing. Register for our session on educating caregivers, October 14 at 7 PM ET: bit.ly/3TETnYJ #WeFight
Learning to prioritize my mental health alongside my physical health was an important lesson, and I want to spread the word, especially to men. Take time to check in with yourself. For me, that means hitting the golf course. Find support here: bit.ly/3NuGX2H #WeFight
Golf opens doors and teaches important life skills. Grateful for the opportunity to teach it to teens who wouldn’t normally have that kind of access. Watching them gain confidence continues to be a gift. How are you giving back?
Breast Cancer Awareness Month touches so many of us, and 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. If you or your family need support, visit: bit.ly/4ehyt99
I believe healthcare only works if people understand it. Yet 9 in 10 Americans have limited health literacy. With diabetes, I've seen people handed critical information they can't use. That's why we created tools & resources for you: bit.ly/3W7uplC. It takes a village.
Every person living with diabetes deserves to be treated fairly. Federal law guarantees that right, from reasonable accommodation on the job to a safe school day for kids. Knowing your rights is the first step to protecting them:

Nearly 500,000 Americans with diabetes are projected to lose Medicaid coverage by 2034. That means many can no longer afford the medication, lab work, and technology they depend on. Shoutout to my friend Lisa Murdock for breaking down what this means: bit.ly/4xq6KdT
Exciting movement in diabetes technology! The @US_FDA just authorized the first wearable device that continuously monitors both ketone levels and blood glucose (blood sugar) together. This is exactly the kind of innovation that gets me excited. #WeFight
The FDA has authorized the first wearable device that continuously monitors both ketones & blood glucose (blood sugar) in a single device. Innovations like this are opening the door to new possibilities for managing diabetes. Learn more at bit.ly/45OcxOw.
Today marks 86 years since the @AmDiabetesAssn was founded in 1940. For decades, we have driven breakthrough research, championed affordable insulin and fought for the over 155 million Americans living with diabetes or prediabetes. bit.ly/495iQhb 💙 #WeFight
My mom was a nurse, so I know what it means to show up for people when they
need it most. Community Health Workers carry that same spirit, meeting people where they are and connecting them to diabetes care. To every CHW out there, thank you! bit.ly/4gGlZJU #WeFight
College is a big transition for any student. For students living with diabetes, knowing your rights makes all the difference🎓📝. The @AmDiabetesAssn has resources to help navigate accommodations and protections in college: bit.ly/3WiyQr8 #WeFight #SafeAtSchool
We are living through the most exciting era of diabetes technology in history, from CGMs to smart insulin pens. But innovation is only as powerful as it is accessible. A breakthrough that reaches only some people is not a breakthrough

There is nothing quite like the energy of a Step Out® Walk. People all moving together for one purpose. Whether you walk, volunteer, or donate, you are part of the fight to end diabetes. Find a walk near you: bit.ly/4rko1BC. #ADAStepOut2026 #WeFight
Preventive care is an important part of diabetes care. Diabetes raises the risk of serious complications from infections like the flu and pneumococcal pneumonia, so staying current on vaccines matters. Learn more: bit.ly/4aOOmzg
Taking care of your body and your mind is important, and the two go hand in hand. Caring for your mind matters just as much as your body, which means slowing down is part of staying well. We are here to help: bit.ly/3Thnpy9 #WeFight
The gap between what medicine can do & what most people can actually access is far too wide. Too many people cannot get life-changing therapies because of cost, coverage, or where they live. We fight hard to make sure breakthroughs reach everyone: bit.ly/3Fv9BMU #WeFight
Nearly one in two Americans is living with diabetes or prediabetes, which is why events like Tour de Cure matter so much to me. Every rider, volunteer, and donor moves us closer to a cure. 🚴♀️Find a Tour de Cure near you: bit.ly/3Tp0KmV #WeFight
Nearly 500,000 people with diabetes could lose Medicaid coverage by 2034. Healthcare coverage isn't a luxury; it's survival. We need policy change now. Read our full findings: bit.ly/4pQJRxu 💙 #WeFight
When was your last eye exam? With diabetes, vision changes can happen quietly. National Eye Exam Month is a good reminder to stay one step ahead. Make scheduling your next eye exam a priority this month and find helpful eye health resources at bit.ly/3OWpH6R.
Movement looks different for every body, and finding joy in it should not feel out of reach. 🏃♂️
Join us August 11 at 2 PM ET for an Ask the Experts session on fun, accessible ways to move:
