According to the American Diabetes Association, 23.6 million children and adults have diabetes, a disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin. Since a diabetics’ quality of life is dictated by important lifestyle choices, such as healthy eating habits, knowledge and awareness is extremely important.
