Frankel Foundation for Diabetics

Who we are

Frankel Foundation For Diabetics is a non-profit organization established in 2018, dedicated mainly to serve, support and represent children and adults living with diabetes and their families. Our organization is based in the USA but currently working in Ghana and moving forward to making our project of diabetes awareness world wide.

Our Mission

Our Mission is to create awareness about diabetes, support, represent and serve children, adolescents and adults living with diabetes and their families, especially those who don’t have access to clinics, hospitals and health centers.

Our Vision

To reduce the rampancy or prevalence of diabetes and improve the quality of life for those diagnosed and yet to be diagnosed. Children, adolescents and adults living with diabetes will be inspired that living with diabetes is not a death sentence and have that hope of a better and brighter tomorrow. 

This is the place to begin your education about diabetes. This section of our site provides basic overviews of the major issues surrounding diabetes, with plenty of links to more in-depth information if you need it. Take our type 2 diabetes risk test for a quick assessment of your risk. There is no way to predict your chances of getting type 1 diabetes, but you can familiarize yourself with its symptoms.
