Diabetes and Disordered Eating Program

Eating disorders are common among the diabetes population and require a specialized skillset to appropriately treat. Philanthropy will aid in the development of the Center’s Diabetes and Disordered Eating Program, positioning the Center to recruit an expert in this area and develop a support system to provide these patients with cohesive care.

Healthy Aging in Diabetes Program

Thanks to advancements in care, people with diabetes are living longer than ever before. But the chronic nature of diabetes can lead to many other health complications, such as eye disease, that manifest with age. Philanthropy will aid the Allen Diabetes Center in building a Healthy Aging in Diabetes Program to empower individuals living with diabetes to thrive as they age. The Program will feature support groups, standard protocols for families with an aging loved one, clinical research and more.

Digital Therapeutics in Diabetes Program

Part of the Mary & Dick Allen Diabetes Center’s vision is to be a leader in digital therapeutics. Technology is being harnessed as a powerful tool in diabetes care via new applications, insulin management devices, automated coaching experiences, AI-driven experiences and more. Donor support will enable the Center to recruit diabetes educators to serve as champions of these tools, helping patients get the most out of technological advances and increase the Center’s research efforts around the use of technology in diabetes treatment and care.

Diabetes and Mental Health Fund

Depression and anxiety are prevalent among the diabetes population. Philanthropic support will position the Center to build on its current supportive resources for diabetes patients experiencing mental health issues by recruiting a therapist and/or care navigator to support these patients.
