KDA is a non-profit organization chartered in 1981 to help patients, and/or
their families to deal better with the serious disease of diabetes.
You can live with diabetes if you know how to deal with it and have the support you need. This support comes from your doctor, from their staff and from others who "know what you're going through." At Kingsport Diabetes Association (KDA) we know what you are going through and we are here to help. This help comes in the various forms of informative meetings, events, and personal support. Annual Membership dues are only $20.00 per year for the entire family.
