Dear DiabetesSister,
Each November, Diabetes Awareness Month exposes the general population to education about diabetes, tips and tricks to manage the disease, and better ways to communicate about chronic illness.
This month, I urge you to speak out about diabetes, educate friends and loved ones, and if necessary, dispel some myths. You can even share this eNewsletter, full of information!
In Sisterhood,
Anna
