Insulindependence is a national leader in the field of diabetes and exercise. Since 2005, this nonprofit organization has empowered thousands of people living with diabetes to take charge of their health through innovative recreation programs. By offering real-world experiences to help individuals with diabetes overcome challenges and fears, program participants gain enhanced self-images, fresh life-perspectives, enduring friendships, and deeper self-understandings that lead to improved self-management of their disease. Ultimately, this affords a higher quality of life to individuals and society as a whole.

Insulindependence believes that it is socially responsible for people to stay fit and healthy, and that for people with diabetes, an important resource for healthy living is the diabetes community itself. Its programs have not only shaped a community, they have planted the seeds of a health revolution.

The University of Insulindependence curriculum trains dozens of dedicated patient volunteers annually. These individuals go on to serve as agents of change in cities across the country. In addition to hosting regular community fitness events, they are qualified to mentor youth living with diabetes and serve as positive athlete role models as they prepare for a triathlon, marathon, relay race or group expedition.

The goal is to reach millions more as they continue to ease a national epidemic.
