Every day there is a stream of people coming through the diabetes association to be tested, visit the doctors, and try to carry on their lives. I was elated when the association decided to use the Challenge as another way to try and slow the degradation of their patients.
How nice to see people signing “the Pledge” and getting pink wristbands.

This is great news indeed! Love seeing those pink wrist bands on the folks in the diabetes clinic. Here's hoping they can make some real changes in their diets and then stick to them long term.
