American Diabetes Month
Diabetes is one of the leading causes of disability and death in the United States. It can cause blindness, nerve damage, kidney disease, and other health problems if it’s not controlled. One in 10 Americans have diabetes — that’s more than 30 million people. And another 84 million adults in the United States are at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes. The good news? People who are at high risk for type 2 diabetes can lower their risk by more than half if they make healthy changes. These changes include: eating healthy, getting more physical activity, and losing weight. How can American Diabetes Month make a difference? We can use this month to raise awareness about diabetes risk factors and encourage people to make healthy changes. Here are just a few ideas: Encourage people to make small changes, like taking the stairs instead of the elevator. Talk to people in your community about getting regular checkups. They can get their blood pressure and cholesterol checked, and ask the doctor about their diabetes risk. Ask doctors and nurses to be leaders in their communities by speaking about the importance of healthy eating and physical activity. How can I help spread the word? We’ve made it easier for you to make a difference. This toolkit is full of ideas to help you take action today. For example: Continue reading >>

It was extenstively revised and updated in 2001 by Shereen Arent, National Director of Legal Advocacy, American Diabetes Association from the original, which was written in 1993 by Mary B. Dickson. It was reviewed for accuracy and timeliness in 2009 by Brian Dimick, Associate Director, Government Affairs and Advocacy, American Diabetes Association. Click heading to view text.| View Entire Article Diabetes is a disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin. Insulin is a hormone that is needed to convert sugar, starches and other food into energy needed for daily life. Nearly 24 million people in the United States have diabetes, which means that 7.8% of the United States population has the disease. Type 1 (formerly known as juvenile diabetes or insulin-dependent diabetes) a disease in which the body produces very little or no insulin, often first diagnosed in children and young adults. People with type 1 diabetes must receive insulin from an outside source (typically through injections or use of an insulin pump) to stay alive. Type 1 diabetes accounts for 5 to 10 percent of all cases of diabetes diagnosed in the United States. In type 2 diabetes (formerly known as adult onset diabetes) the body retains the ability to make insulin, but cannot make enough to meet its needs because cells cannot recognize insulin or use it as effectively as in people without diabetes. Type 2 accounts for 90 to 95 percent of diabetes cases in the United States. Some people with type 2 (particularly in the early stages of the disease) can control their diabetes through diet and exercise. Others must take various types of oral medications, while still others use insulin, much as those with type 1 do. Diabetes causes blood glucose (sugar) levels to be too high. This is known Continue reading >>

What Employers Can Do To Manage Type 2 Diabetes In The Workplace
What employers can do to manage Type 2 diabetes in the workplace Its estimated that over 30 million Americans approximately 1 in 10 have diabetes. About 1.25 million have Type 1 Diabetes, and the remainder have Type 2. Of the 30 million with diabetes, over 7 million have yet to be diagnosed. Diabetes is the 7th leading cause of death in the U.S., with over 300,000 death certificates citing the disease as an underlying or contributing cause. And more cases are on the way:1.5 million new diabetes diagnoses are made in the U.S. every year, and in 2015, 84.1 million Americans 18 and older had prediabetes. According to the Health Care Cost Institute ,the annual cost for diabetic care is significant: over $10,000 more per year than without the disease. For employers, employees and dependents, the annual costs continue to rise: $14,999 annually for people with diabetes; $4,305 annually for people without diabetes; $15,456 for children (018) with diabetes; $16,889 annually for pre-Medicare adults (5564) with diabetes; $1,922 annual out-of-pocket medical spending for people with diabetes; and $738 annual out-of-pocket medical spending for people without diabetes. In 2012, the annual cost of diagnosed diabetes in the U.S. for employers amounted to $245 billion, including $176 billion in direct medical costs and $69 billion in reduced productivity.About 1 in 3 adults has prediabetes (86 million Americans), but 9 out of 10 are not even aware they have it. Prediabetics can develop the disease within five years. For most people, Type 2 diabetes occurs later in life, typically after age 40. But gestational diabetes can be a precursor for women to develop Type 2 diabetes after the birth of their child. While coverage for diabetes is included in virtually every employer-sponsored healt Continue reading >>

American Diabetes Association
ADAs consolidation of operations triggers increased disaster recovery activity; insurance benefits of plan testing a secondary outcome Prompted by the threat of natural disasters and the elevated terrorism risk in the national capital area -- and to determine how prepared they are to protect life, limb and property -- the Alexandria, VA-based American Diabetes Association decided to test their recently completed business continuity plan. During the past year, more than 400,000 people contacted the American Diabetes Association, to seek support or direction regarding diabetes management. The Associations national call center, which fields all those questions, is located in the ADAs Washington, DC-area headquarters, along with many of the associations other activities, including membership, fundraising, and education activities. Consolidation has served the organization well, but the centralization of operations comes with increased risk to people and systems. We had begun to experience service outages through weather, power problems, etc., said Harold D. Sam Samorian, Jr., Managing Director of ADA Service Center. With the consolidation and concentration of our resources in the DC area, the impact of these disruptions was becoming significant and we felt that testing the plan was a necessary next step to ensuring that we could maintain our operations nationwide in the event of a disruption of any sort. We felt that we not only needed to have a plan, we had to test it and live it. We also found that, when we went to renew our insurance, the insurance companies now ask what weve done to protect our people and our systems do we have a plan and have we tested it, Samorian said. In addition, our volunteers ask us about data protection and our IT strategic plan. To structure a Continue reading >>

Workplace Checkup: Keeping Patients With Diabetes Employed And Safe On The Job
Fred is job hunting. Since being laid off 3 years ago as a result of the recession, he has worked in a series of temporary jobs that have kept food on his table but provided no health insurance, vacation, or other benefits. Fred is just like millions of other unemployed or underemployed people who desire a fulfilling job with fair pay. The only difference? Fred has diabetes. Because of this, Fred must find out about more than just the job duties, dress code, and pay structure of potential employers. He must also seek information about whether he will be able to manage his diabetes on the job and what policies potential employers have for hiring and accommodating workers with disabilities. Fred tries to get this information second-hand because he does not yet want to reveal his diabetes and risk lessening his chances of getting a job. Fred’s situation probably sounds familiar to many of the more than 18 million Americans who have been diagnosed and live with diabetes today.1 Employment provides many benefits to people with diabetes, not the least of which is the income necessary to afford diabetes supplies. Such benefits, in turn, allow workers to manage diabetes so they can remain healthy enough to work. But employment is not always trouble free for people with diabetes. Data show that lost productivity at work, absenteeism, and even early retirement contribute indirectly to the enormous costs (not only to individuals, but also to society) of diabetes.2 Just as damaging can be discrimination on the job because of diabetes. Diabetes discrimination comes in many forms and includes not only the failure to hire or promote a person because of diabetes, but also the failure to provide an employee the reasonable accommodations necessary to manage diabetes on the job, as well Continue reading >>
