You Can Prevent Diabetes Deaths in California!  

There may not be a cure for diabetes but today you can help us in our fight to put an end to one cause of death from diabetes – the lack of medical care, insulin, and diabetes supplies for those who cannot afford them.  Donate today and help keep people in California with diabetes alive until there is a cure.
