Why We Are Here

The Diabetes Sports and Wellness Foundation has created a web site and wellness community to provide information and tools in a supportive structure for diabetics and pre-diabetics who could benefit from more specific information, exercise and fitness, and wellness regimens. 

In partnership with The President’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports, The President’s Challenge, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and other stakeholders, the Diabetes and Wellness Foundation will provide programs and a place for diabetics to monitor activity, to be recognized for achievements, to exchange advice, to provide encouragement, and to create a sense of community while pursuing endeavors that enrich their lives and wellness.
The goal is to give diabetics the tools and the confidence to become more active and knowledgeable about how to live a more complete life.

Diabetes and Wellness is more than the calculation of insulin, food intake and activity. It is living everyday in the best way possible, mentally and physically. This will result in better health and less complications and allow people living with the disease to witness the day a cure is found.
Why is there a need for the Diabetes and Wellness Foundation when there are other organizations raising funds for diabetes? 

We agree that the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) and the American Diabetes Association (ADA) are both worthy causes and we support them just as much as you.  The goal of the Diabetes and Wellness Foundation is to bridge the gap  between these organizations by keeping people with diabetes healthy until the one day a cure is found.
