The ADA or the American Diabetic Association is the largest diabetic organization in the world, which aims at improving the nation’s health by doing the following – educating people about diabetes, food and nutrition; propagating healthier lifestyles and living and conducting extensive research on the subject so as to know more about it. Starting off in a small way, the ADA now has almost 70,000 members nationwide!

Founded in 1917 in Cleveland by a group of women, it is now governed by a 98-member House of Delegates. This organization has now also joined hands with fifty other state diabetic associations all over the US. The ADA Foundation has also been set up now so as to provide support to their education and research wings. This branch has given away $2,80,000 by way of scholarships to undergraduate and graduate students!
