DAA is the only agency in metro Atlanta that provides comprehensive programs to give people the tools they need to properly manage their diabetes. The Diabetes Association of Atlanta, Inc., was founded by Mrs. Ernest (Louise) Williams in 1952 as an all-volunteer support group for the parents of children with diabetes. Mrs. Williams continued as the volunteer executive secretary of the organization for 12 years. Under the guidance of Dr. Christopher McLoughlin, the group expanded to include adults and interested physicians and was incorporated in 1953.
Through the years, the Diabetes Association of Atlanta, Inc., has grown and emerged to be a full-service agency committed to alleviating the medical, financial, and psychological impact that diabetes has on individuals and their families.

The dedicated service of our effective staff has assisted these people in improving the quality of their lives.
