The Diabetic Revolution is NOW


“Fighting For Those Waiting For A Cure”

Fight It is a unique non-profit campaign that aims to help financially struggling, uninsured and newly diagnosed diabetics. While larger non-profits and organizations raise money for a cure, we are fighting for those waiting for a cure. The goal is simple: To ensure that no diabetic must struggle, whether it is physically, emotionally or financially, anymore.

The charity, established in September of 2007, has already garnered national intention for its unique niche in the diabetes community. Strengthened by a growing number of corporate sponsorships, and led by a number of Diabetic Rockstar volunteers, Fight It is quickly being recognized as a powerful, inspirational and grassroots campaign.

Why The Need For “Fight It”

Diabetes is the fifth leading cause of death in the United States. Nationwide 25 million people, and 240 million people worldwide, are fighting to properly take care of themselves daily. This is past the point of epidemic and disease; diabetes is simply a fact of life right now for a growing part of our population. And too many people are struggling to live through it. The extreme costs associated with battling diabetes can be astronomical even for the well-insured; this often leads to many people cutting corners in order to survive. The average uninsured diabetic will spend more than $8,000 per year on medical expenses. Even those insured will pay close to $3,000 per year.

The complications and risks associated with diabetes goes further than money. A growing segment of diabetics are suffering from conditions like eating disorders and depression, often the result of not having the financial ability to receive proper care.
It is time that someone helps these people before it is too late. Things must change. Things will change.

Brought to you by DiabeticRockstar.com, Fight It is simply one of a kind. From testing meters and supplies, insulin and medication, to eye exams, doctor visits and counseling, we will do what it takes to help people live like the Rockstars they are. It is our hope that this is truly the start of the Diabetic Revolution, that we will be the organization that forces change in the way individual diabetics are supported and cared for.

The Diabetic Rockstars will be heard. We will make a difference.
