These are the words of Deborah, who has lived with diabetes for more than two decades. Over the years she tried to manage her condition alone and felt increasingly isolated and found it more difficult to focus on her health.
Then Deborah joined NCOA’s Diabetes Self-Management Program where she received not only the tools and information to manage her diabetes but also connection, encouragement, and a community that truly understood her.
Through evidence-based tools, group support, and expert guidance, Deborah found new motivation and saw meaningful improvements in her health. Her most recent blood glucose screening after the program showed a significant improvement without any change in her medication.
She credits that progress to the power of NCOA’s program, “Your leadership gave us all the hope of understanding, a wide range of tools, and connection with a community of caring people.”
Deborah’s story is a powerful reminder of what your support makes possible.
