Get To Know Us

Mutual Aid Diabetes (MAD) was formed in response to the insulin crisis in the United States. We are a group of diabetics who saw a need, especially during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, to more formally organize mutual aid efforts in the diabetes community.

We seek to create a platform for those in our community who have been systemically erased from the conversation around insulin and medication access, especially members of the diabetes community who are (but not limited to) Black, Indigenous, Latinx, trans, type 2, LADA, MODY, type 3C, CFRD, fat, incarcerated, immigrants, un/under-documented, and who have co-occurring disabilities.

MAD does not utilize means testing: anyone who requests help with diabetes related costs is eligible to receive it.
