Dear DiabetesSister,
It's hard to believe it's already and we are welcoming National Diabetes Awareness Month (#NDAM). This month, I challenge you to educate those who may have preconceived notions or misunderstandings about diabetes, support friends and family living with diabetes, and find time for self-care.
In Sisterhood,
Anna

Women living with diabetes are more likely to develop eating disorders than their peers without diabetes. Our brochure discusses the different types of eating disorders and how you can get help. Download it, in both English and Spanish, from our Library.
