All Stores Will Raise Funds for Diabetes Research and Cure by Selling $1 American Diabetes Association Pin-Ups During November, Diabetes Awareness Month

The American Diabetes Association estimates that 23.6 million children and adults in the United States living with diabetes, and 5.7 million of them don’t even know it. That’s why Rite Aid has teamed up with the American Diabetes Association and dLife to increase awareness and educate its patients on this ever-growing epidemic. Patients can receive free information on preventing, managing and living with diabetes at all Rite Aid stores and online at www.riteaid.com and www.riteaiddiabetes.com.

Developed with the American Diabetes Association, the 16-page Diabetes Guide identifies the risk factors for pre-diabetes and diabetes. It includes important information on weight management and eating smart and features diabetes-friendly recipes. The guide also provides advice and safe treatment options on health conditions like gum disease, dry eyes, wound and foot care, all of which can be especially harmful to people with diabetes if left untreated.

From now through November, Rite Aid pharmacists will lead customers in 80 American Diabetes Association-sponsored walks across the country to raise money to help find a cure for diabetes. Customers can sign up to walk with or support their local Rite Aid team at all participating stores or by visiting www.riteaid.com/ADAwalk. Customers who participate as a Rite Aid team member and raise funds online will receive a free, one-time-use coupon for ten percent off a Rite Aid purchase.* In November, all Rite Aid stores will sell $1 American Diabetes Association pin-ups, with all proceeds going directly to the American Diabetes Association for diabetes research, information and advocacy initiatives.
