Attention Joslin Patients:
Joslin Diabetes Center is responding to the COVID-19 pandemic in a variety of ways including remote care appointments, onsite appointments for urgent care cases and providing online educational resources. Please visit our main COVID-19 page for all of this information in both English and Spanish. If you are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19, call your primary care provider.

People living with diabetes are twice as likely to die from cardiovascular diseases such as heart failure, heart attack and stroke. While it's not a new statistic, it does resonate in Hispanic and Asian communities in the United States, where 1 in 5 adults has diabetes, diagnosed or not.
