The Diabetes Foundation, Inc., established on August 17, 1990, is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization dedicated to improving the care and quality of life for children and adults living day to day with diabetes in the New Jersey/New York Metropolitan area. The DFI provides diabetes medications and supplies to uninsured, low-income diabetics, assuring that they are able to care for their diabetes while they secure more long-term aid from other sources. Bridging this gap and allowing the patient to be compliant with their medications helps avoid many of the complications associated with the disease and will reduce visits to the emergency rooms and hospital stays, therefore, reducing healthcare costs.
