WHY BARB CHOSE THIS CHARITY

I am in the thick of this disease every day. I fully understand the burdens that can come with managing diabetes. My husband has had type 1 diabetes since the age of two. Both of my parents and two brothers are type two, and I was recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. The challenges that come with managing this disease include costly and constant medications and devices, unexpected physical and emotional changes, diet management and restrictions and much more. The American Diabetes Association provides so many levels of support, please visit diabetes.org to learn more.
