About diaTribe
The diaTribe Foundation seeks to empower readers with useful, actionable information that gives them hope for a better future, and helps them live happier and healthier lives. Our tagline is “Making Sense of Diabetes.”
The diaTribe Foundation was founded by Kelly Close, whose passion for diabetes comes from her extensive professional work as well as her personal experience living with diabetes for over 35 years. From 2006 to 2021, she served as editor-in-chief, overseeing the nonprofit’s website and weekly newsletters. Since 2002, she has also led Close Concerns, a healthcare information firm focused on scientific, regulatory, and advocacy developments in diabetes and obesity. In 2009, she founded dQ&A, an insights partner that works with companies to drive more confident diabetes decision-making. As a result of her legacy, today diaTribe newsletters are sent weekly to more than 600,000 people with diabetes and their families.
