Diabetes has been eating into lives for years and it is bound to increase in the coming years. It is time we make an effort to control diabetes not only for us, but many people who are being imprisoned within its problems.
With this view, volunteers have come forward to keep diabetes at bay at least once in a year. That is what American Diabetes Month is focusing on. The month of November will help people from all corners of America come together, to keep diabetes under control.
Schedule your Diabetic Free Month!
Whether you or your loved one are prone to Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetes, it is this one month where all health care professionals , care givers, families of diabetic patients and diabetic patients of all ages meet at various places.
