I have recently been diagnosed with
diabetes and need to connect with resources to help me achieve my
athletic goals.

The best friends in my life are DESA
members I have come to know through DESA activities and conferences.

DESA conferences are an opportunity
for me to meet leaders in the field of diabetes research and heath
care professional to learn the latest development in exercise related
subjects, diabetes equipment and supplies.

The DESA quarterly newsletter, The
Challenge, is a quality publication of timely and useful information
on diabetes control through exercise.

I want to have dialogue with others
facing the same challenges as I do and the DESA Online Forum is a
great opportunity to do this.

I want to get started on an exercise
program and receive encouragement to "stick with it" from DESA and
its members.

I want to become active in advancing
the DESA mission. My membership decision is an important step in doing
this.

DESA has supported and helped people
with diabetes from around the globe by establishing DESA Canada and
DESA Europe to address the need for exercise knowledge and support
among people with diabetes. Many of our members are just starting
an exercise program, while others have succeeded at levels that most
only dream of, including climbing Mt. Everest, biking across the United
States, and enduring extreme sport activities and marathons.

We are the leading international nonprofit
diabetes organization dedicated to diabetes health, wellness and prevention
through exercise.
