Diabetes is a disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin. Insulin is a hormone that is needed to convert sugar, starches and other food into energy needed for daily life. The cause of diabetes is a mystery, although both genetics and environmental factors such as obesity and lack of exercise appear to play roles. There are two major types of diabetes:

Type 1 - A disease in which the body does not produce any insulin, most often occurring in children and young adults. People with Type 1 diabetes must take daily insulin injections to stay alive. Type 1 diabetes accounts for 5 to 10 percent of diabetes.


Type 2 - A metabolic disorder resulting from the body's inability to make enough, or properly use, insulin. It is the most common form of the disease. Type 2 diabetes accounts for 90 to 95 percent of diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is nearing epidemic proportions, due to an increased number of older Americans, and a greater prevalence of obesity and sedentary lifestyles.

Hey, try to get in touch with any Alpha Gamma Delta Chapters near you, I am sure they would love to help out in any way that they can! Our Philantrophy is juvenile (sp) diabetes, and I know if I were in a chapter close to you, I would want to help out.

Thanks Gam!
You are the best! I will definitely reach out to your sisters. Feel free to pass the word!

Not to be picky or anything but Alpha Gamma Delta's Philanthropy is no longer just Juvinille Diabetes but just Diabetes Melitus in general ( I am sorry of the typos...its 101 am here!)

:D

I contacted your National office
 

Unfortunately, there is not a AGD chapter in the NYC metro area.

Finer Woman,

have you thought about contacting the New York Metro Junior Circle? One of my chapter sisters is an officer, and I'm sure they would be interested in helping out. Please feel free to drop me a line. I would be happy to give you her email address!

Greek Love,
GLG

sorry...
 

I am not familiar with the New York Metro Junior Circle. Tell me more about them! Please email me your sister's information! Although the Orchid project is almost coming to an end, perhaps we can work on something in the future.
