Living with Diabetes
A diagnosis of diabetes can be
overwhelming. You have to deal with new medications and/or the
probability of daily shots of insulin, constant monitoring of your
blood sugar and radical changes in diet. Eating anything
containing sugar can disrupt your health and at worst put you at
greater risk of complications in the future. Now you have to
re-organize your life around your diabetes. Very often, diabetics
don’t want anyone else to know about their condition. It may be a
small comfort but, people living with diabetes should know they
are not alone.
Our Values
We consider those that use our service
as members, not customers. We see these people as part of a
global family connected by one unfortunate common link: Diabetes.
As such, we pledge to keep our members informed and educated about
the disease, new medical breakthroughs, products and services,
daily maintenance, diet, nutrition awareness and coping skills.
In addition, we want to provide an environment that makes members
feel comfortable contacting our team at any time, day or night, to
discuss concerns, ask questions, share personal coping strategies
or seek support.
The Objectives
1.
To create a user-friendly web site to
fill the information and service void that exists in the
diabetic-supply market
2.
To educate those with Diabetes and their caregivers about the
benefits of daily treatment and management.
3.
To keep our members informed of any new information including
services and products that will help them better manage their
disease.
4.
To develop not-for-profit fundraising initiatives as well as
participate in all diabetic funding programs, major events and
speaking opportunities to increase awareness among young people and
their caregivers.
5.
To provide members, clinics, hospitals and foundations with
information booklets, brochures and FAQ sheets, free of charge, for
personal use and distribution.
6.
Increase awareness at major events and schools, including all
programs involved in children that are overweight and diet programs
