BCBS | A Place of Love 

Pre-diabetes has a diagnosis rate of 2% when in reality 1 in 3 adults have pre-diabetes (or higher for BIPOC communities). In 2020, 8.8% of Minnesota adults (about 40,000) had been diagnosed with diabetes (type 1 or 2).​ Around 1 in 10 people with ​diabetes do not know that they ​have the disease.

To help bring this reality to light, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota partnered with CLUES (Comunidades Latinas Unidas en Servicio), Minnesota’s largest Latino-led nonprofit organization, to create an integrated campaign that targets first and second generation Latinos. 

Manifesto:
Often in the Latinx community, health is a taboo topic. As excited as we are ​to gather and celebrate life moments together, we are every bit as hesitant ​to discuss certain topics with family. And near the top of that list is the threat diabetes presents to us. ​We seek
to break down the stigma surrounding diabetes and encourage more conversation and action around health, leading to more screening and better management. When we can share conversation, knowledge, vulnerability ​and an appetite to learn
— all coming from a place of love — we can be even more free to enjoy the time we have with the people we love the most.  ​
