Dear DiabetesSister,
I hope those April showers have created beautiful blooms and colors to enjoy this month!
As we head into warmer, sunnier days and more time outdoors, remember to focus on self-care, make necessary appointments, and learn about ways to best manage diabetes. This month's newsletter shares a wealth of information from our partners - from nutrition facts to recipes that integrate those facts.
Check it out! Until next month, be well!
In Sisterhood,
Anna
