For Those with Diabetes: With all the misinformation out there, it can get frustrating when people perpetuate stereotypes and don’t really understand the basic components of the disease you have to deal with everyday. What is one thing you want people without diabetes to know or a small fact that may not have been mentioned yet? Let’s educate!
