This marks the beginning of a new era of living with diabetes! The time has come to end the limited way in which we view, address, and manage diabetes.

One's experience with diabetes is not determined exclusively by one's medical care. As those who live with diabetes know all too well, diabetes affects nearly every area of their lives. To date, there have been virtually no concerted efforts made to assist people with the array of "non-medical" components that come along with living with diabetes: that is, until now.
