Did you know Type 1 diabetes results from an autoimmune reaction and usually appears in adolescents and young adults. Type 2 diabetes develops over the course of many years. Risk factors include excess weight and a lack of exercise.
Both types of diabetes can lead to chronically high blood sugar levels. That increases the risk of diabetes complications.
What is the Talki Foundation
As a 501(c)(3) registered Georgia organization, we seek to empower people by implementing awareness campaigns, education programs, and outreach initiatives that help individuals and families with the knowledge and resources they need to thrive through valuable and actionable information to help fight this disease.
Through faith, hope, and love we can move mountains.
Invest in your health and wellness
Did you know about 1 in 7 Americans have diabetes? It means about 14% of Americans suffer from diabetes, and a significant percentage need insulin. Every year, the country spends about $245 billion on diabetes.
Approximately 1 Million people (12.4%) in Georgia have a diagnosis of diabetes with an additional 230,000 people with diabetes but are unaware. An additional 234,000 people in Georgia have diabetes but don't know it, greatly increasing their health risk.
It's critical to be aware and get your blood glucose tested. And gain knowledge.
We want to help.
Our passion is to bring awareness to this horrific disease of diabetes.
We aspire to directly impact those requiring insulin in economically disadvantaged communities and work with compassion, courage, equality, and passion.
