About Us

The Diabetes Society is a one-stop shop for diabetes education and support and serves 20,000 people annually. We give education, hope, and encouragement to those living with diabetes. Our programs include an ADA recognized diabetes self-management education program, community-wide diabetes screenings, support groups, and diabetes education camps for children, teenagers, and families. The Society also helps recruit participants for the latest state of the art diabetes clinical trials.

Registered nurses, registered dietitians and certified diabetes educators provide clients with the latest information about medications, supplies and blood glucose management. The goal is to teach people with diabetes how to live healthy lives and avoid the often devastating severe complications of the disease.

What's New

Most Summer Camps are Full!

Registration for 2010 summer camps opened on 1 March 2010 and, as of July 12, all but our Sacramento Day Camp are already full. Full payments or payment plan requests were due 1 April. Financial aid (campership) requests were due 15 April (for round 1 funding). The Lake Tahoe Weekend Family Camp and San Jose Day Camp and Camp De Los Ninos, the Counselor-in-Training program, Camp Kaiser, Teen Camp DJ, and Johnson Youth Camp are now full. We are happy to say that there are still openings for the Rosenberg Sacramento Day Camp on 9/25/2010; please fill out and return a 2010 registration form if you are interested .

We are no longer adding names to the waiting lists for full programs, as the existing lists are longer than we can reasonably expect to fill.

Registered campers and families can find camps packing lists, transportation information, directions, and insulin dosage cards on our website's "forms" page, referenced from the grey side menu on your left as "Downloadable Forms".
