why give to The Link?
The Diabetes Link exists to ensure no young adult living with diabetes falls through the cracks.
Every donation directly strengthens the critical infrastructure, programs, and people who make The Diabetes Link the trusted resource young adults and their families rely on.
Our Programs Deliver:
Peer Connection
Peer connection in a community where diabetes does not need to be explained
Practical Guidance
Practical guidance on diabetes management such as addressing extreme glucose fluctuations, accessing supplies and therapies, choosing and managing technology
Self Advocacy
Self advocacy skills around care teams, insurance coverage, accommodations at school and work
Relevant Resources
Accessible, culturally relevant resources designed for young adults on topics that matter to them such as dating, drinking, and traveling
Support
Support for families and caregivers to foster confidence and trust in their young adult’s independence
We contribute to better health outcomes as well as academic and career success. No other organization is solely dedicated to addressing the full scope of challenges that young adults face while managing diabetes during this transformative life stage.
We recognize that family, caregivers, and clinicians also need support. The Diabetes Link translates young adult experiences into actionable insights for these stakeholders, building trust, alleviating fear, and improving outcomes.
Together, we can create a world where young adults have the knowledge and community they need to live their best life, knowing that their diagnosis is just one part of their story, not the whole story.
