THE CENTRAL OHIO DIABETES ASSOCIATION

The Central Ohio Diabetes Association helps Central Ohioans living with diabetes detect their condition, prevent onset and complications, and learn to live well with the challenge of diabetes.

Founded by a group of local physicians, the Central Ohio Diabetes Association has provided service to the Central Ohio community for forty-five years. The agency is not affiliated with a national organization. It is a local, private agency with a direct service focus serving Franklin County and 10 outlying counties. (more..)
Did you know?
Diabetes now affects nearly 24 million people in the United States, an increase of more than 3 million in approximately two years. Data estimates released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) projects that nearly 8 percent of the U.S. population has diabetes.
Ohio ranks eighth in the number of people diagnosed with diabetes with an estimated 830,000 adult Ohioans having the disease. This is an estimate of 9.7% Ohioans.
Diabetes is rapidly becoming one of the world's most common diseases and its financial cost is mounting, too, to well over $200 billion a year in the U.S. alone.
The U.S. Government spends only $1 for diabetes research compared to every $7 spent on AIDS and breast cancer, even though diabetes afflicts more Americans (16 million) and costs more money ($91 billion a year in direct costs) than both AIDS and breast cancer combined (3.35 million/$16.9 billion).

In Memory of Andrew Michael Coburn Minimize

The Central Ohio Diabetes Association would like to express its sincerest condolences to the family of Andrew Michael Coburn who passed away on January 21, 2012.

Andrew was a former camper at Camp Hamwi, the agency’s camp for children with diabetes.

The circumstances under which Andrew came to Camp Hamwi were quite unique. One year after having missed the Indiana diabetes camp deadline, he decided to venture to Danville, Ohio and attend Camp Hamwi.

After a four hour, one-way drive, his Mom said, “you probably have a nice camp, but we won’t be back” due to the distance.  Well, Andrew loved Camp Hamwi so much that his Mom made the commitment to drive him four hours one-way to bring him to camp the next several years.

Andrew Coburn is from Connersville, Indiana and was a freshman at Vincennes University where he studied culinary arts.

Andrew will never be forgotten by his Camp Family.

May He Rest in Peace.
