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).
