While the celebration of Dr. King is global, its spirit is local. As Dr. King said, “Everyone can be great, because everyone can serve” and there is no better way to honor his legacy than through individual and community service.

As Diabetes Specialists, we honor Dr. King’s words by serving people living with prediabetes and diabetes. We advocate for affordable diabetes care, medications, and access to nutritious foods.

We are fully aware that people with diabetes are more likely to struggle with food insecurity, social and financial inequities and lack adequate resources to pay for medications and diabetes supplies. We know that there is still much work to be done. During these challenging times, I am comforted by Dr. King’s resonant statement  “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.”

On this day of national celebration and service, we thank Dr. King for being a beacon of light and clarity with his call to action that still resonates today. 

With Gratitude,
Coach Beverly
