This year, the free program will visit eight cities where the incidence of diabetes is prevalent. DIVABETIC - Makeover Your Diabetes takes diabetes education out of the clinical setting and puts it into a supportive community setting. To date, more than 2,000 people across the nation affected by diabetes have experienced this confidence-building program inspired by the late Luther Vandross.

"Because women play a critical role in driving change in their homes and communities they can help themselves and others to adopt healthier lifestyles," said Dr. Soraly Servera, Medical Scientific Director at Novo Nordisk. "As the prevalence of diabetes continues to rise, so does the need to inspire better care."

The event features makeovers from celebrity hair, makeup and fashion professionals, alongside coaching from Certified Diabetes Educators (CDEs) in a casual and personal format that focuses on practical life changes in key diabetes care areas:
