Diabetes Basics

Each year, we are asked to take part in numerous health fair events and speaking engagements.  Unfortunately, given our limited staff size, we are unable to have representation at every event.

We do, however, consider it high importance to distribute our materials to events we are unable to attend.  We have provided a list of acceptable documents to use in the event we cannot attend.

For additional resources and diabetes materials, feel free to view the following websites:
