your family and friends. Whether you don't want to feel different from
your friends, you're a parent who wants to stop worrying about
blood glucose levels in the middle of the night, or you are a young
adult thinking about starting a family, everyone has one thing in
common. We all want to stop diabetes in our futures. Join the
movement to Stop Diabetes℠.
