Every day, our programs and services are making a difference as we remain a constant, reliable resource for our community and individuals living with diabetes.

Beyond our lifesaving Medical Assistance Program, the NDA offers the following additional programs and services for children, adults, and families affected by diabetes.
The goal of our camp programs is to teach children with diabetes the skills to successfully manage their disease and avoid the life-threatening complications that will emerge due to mismanagement. Five camp programs are filled annually: two week-long resident camps for children ages 7-17; one resident weekend family camp; one resident weekend teen camp (ages 12-17); and one week-long day camp (ages 6-14).
The NDA provides quarterly family support group meetings for children and families featuring guest speakers presenting a variety of relevant topics about diabetes. At these meetings families are able to build vital community networks of support.
These groups meet on a quarterly basis for social activities and diabetes education programs.
The NDA provides an updated, online comprehensive directory of medical providers in donors.
The NDA reaches over 3,500 families with its quarterly electronic newsletter. We routinely participate in health fairs, free diabetes education seminars, and related health workshops. The NDA has an active presence on social media: Facebook, Instagram, and X. Our ViewsEMR also serves as important outreach.
The NDA actively advocates for all Nevadans living with diabetes. We serve as the thought leaders and lead the statewide conversation regarding diabetes diagnosis, care, education, and prevention.

Our primary goal for the Emergency Medical Assistance Program is to save lives. Emergency situations can happen to anyone at any time. The Nevada Diabetes Association has designed this program to provide a means for individuals to have access to their life-sustaining medications regardless of their ability to pay. This program is an alternative to using the emergency room as a source for daily insulin administration, or rationing insulin dosages which could have devastating consequences. The Emergency Medical Assistance Program serves over 850 individuals annually. Based on the previous contacts made by individuals in Northern and Southern Nevada and the North Lake Tahoe/Truckee areas, the organization can provide services to over 50 individuals with access to insulin, other diabetes medications and supplies.
The NDA measures the outcomes of this program by the number of individuals who are directly served. Individuals also complete surveys to measure the effectiveness of the program and its impact. In addition, we routinely receive letters of support, endorsements, and accolades from members of the community.
With over 29 million individuals in the U.S. impacted by diabetes, the Nevada Diabetes Association stands as a beacon of support for the community it serves. Whether it be a parent, sibling, child, co-worker, friend, neighbor, or someone close to you, the prevalence of diabetes underscores the importance of awareness and proactive management.Â
For those navigating a recent diabetes diagnosis, it is crucial to recognize that adapting to this new reality is a journey that requires time and patience. From frequent blood testing and monitoring to lifestyle adjustments like diet and exercise, managing diabetes is a comprehensive process that demands dedication and perseverance. Â The Nevada Diabetes Association encourages individuals to take small but impactful steps toward managing their condition, emphasizing that even minor lifestyle changes can yield significant positive outcomes in the long run. By providing essential resources and guidance, we strive to empower individuals in the Nevada community to effectively manage their diabetes and safeguard their long-term well-being.
