ERLANGER, Ky., Nov. 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In honor of National Diabetes Awareness Month, DAV (Disabled American Veterans) announced today a new strategic partnership with Dexcom, the global leader in glucose biosensing. As part of the partnership, Dexcom will support DAV’s mission and collaborate on a diabetes resource page for veterans and their caregivers. This will be Dexcom’s first partnership with a nonprofit organization serving veterans.
The prevalence of diabetes among veterans is estimated to be around 25%, a figure that highlights the urgent need for targeted diabetes care and management. Launching in early 2026, the resource page will provide an understanding of the prevalence of diabetes among veterans, especially those with Type 2 diabetes, and various treatment options.
“The impact of military service on diabetes cannot be overlooked—veterans are nearly twice as likely to develop the disease as the general population,” said DAV’s CEO and National Adjutant Barry Jesinoski. “DAV is committed to empowering veterans with the knowledge and tools to manage diabetes and lead healthier lives, and we’re grateful for Dexcom’s partnership in providing these vital resources.”
DAV provides a lifetime of support for veterans of all generations, their families, survivors and caregivers. Every year, DAV’s no-cost services help 1 million veterans access the benefits and health care they’ve earned while connecting them with meaningful employment and representing their voice on Capitol Hill.
