The goal for most adults with diabetes is to get an A1C level below 7%.

Uninsured Oklahomans with diabetes need comprehensive health care

Since November is Diabetes Awareness Month, imagine you have been diagnosed with diabetes. But also imagine that you just lost your job and you don’t know how you will get your next meal. Having a chronic condition like diabetes can be stressful for anyone, but imagine what it would be like without health insurance or enough food in your fridge.

The goal for most adults with diabetes is to get an A1C level below 7%.

Oklahoma ranks 42nd out of 50 states for a high percentage of diabetes, affecting 13% of the adult population according to the most recent annual US Health Rankings report.

At Health Alliance for the Uninsured (HAU), we partner with free and charitable clinics across Oklahoma, helping them support our state’s most vulnerable residents. These clinics provide care for free, without any government support, relying solely on the support of charitable donations and volunteers.
