The mission of DiabetesSisters is to improve the health and quality of life of women with or at risk of developing diabetes, and to advocate on their behalf.

DiabetesSisters offers a range of education and support services to help women of all ages with all types of diabetes live healthier, fuller lives.  We understand the fear and isolation that often comes with living with diabetes because we are an organization that is managed by women who are living with diabetes. 

DiabetesSisters recognizes that emotional and peer support is vitally important to a woman's overall wellbeing. Through DiabetesSisters' education and support services, women form a special bond and can freely share information, helpful tips, and stories of hope.

To fulfill our Mission, we provide the following education and support services to women with diabetes around the world:

  • Women's Forum to talk openly, share stories, and ask questions about diabetes without fear of judgment
  • An International SisterMatch Program to connect women with a friend to support them on their journey with diabetes
  • sisterTALK blogs discuss the nuances of living successfully with diabetes from our Type 1, Type 2, and Pregnancy Contributors
  • Monthly 'Hot Topics' Blogs to provide discussion on current developments related to women with diabetes
  • From the Experts...provides members with access to healthcare and legal experts to answer their important diabetes-related questions. 
  • Free Medication & Appointment Reminder Program helps women fit diabetes daily care into their busy lives through reminders sent via text, email, or phone.
  • Free Membership which entitles members to access to our monthly e-Newsletter AND our Women's Forum.
  • Local PODS Meetups provide local opportunties for women with diabetes to spend time (in-person) with women who understand them in an informal setting.
  • Local Quarterly Meetings allow women with diabetes meet in person 4 times per year, share a meal (lunch), and hear from an inspirational/educational speaker in a restaurant setting
  • National Conference Series is a life-changing event for women with diabetes, providing them opportunities to engage with other women living with diabetes and experts in the field of diabetes.

So, come on inside and take a look around...There's something inside for every WOMAN with DIABETES! If you don't find what you're looking for, please contact us.

What Physicians Are Saying:

"Information and motivation are the keys to success for all people with diabetes. DiabetesSisters is fulfilling both of these needs with a focus on the unique needs of women with diabetes. Clinical experience has shown me that women experience diabetes differently from men, so having a resource like DiabetesSisters is essential." --John Buse, MD, PhD; Chief, Endocrinology Division, Department of Medicine, UNC-CH School of Medicine; Former President, Medicine and Science Division, American Diabetes Association
