The American Diabetes Association (ADA) is an American health organization providing diabetes research, information and advocacy. Founded in 1940, the ADA conducts programs in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, reaching hundreds of communities.
The mission of the Association is to prevent and cure diabetes and to improve the lives of all people affected by diabetes. To fulfill this mission, the ADA funds research, publishes scientific findings, provides information and other services to people with diabetes, their families, health professionals and the public. The Association also advocates for scientific research and for the rights of people with diabetes.
Each year, the ADA sponsors a series of bicycle tours throughout the United States known collectively and individually as the Tour de Cure.
