Practically everyone knows of someone who has diabetes, whether that be a spouse, children, friends, family, or even themselves. Having diabetes is serious and is a big change to people’s lives — some almost feel it controls their life. 

Healthy Living with Diabetes was developed and researched at Stanford University of Wisconsin to improve confidence and reduce hospitalizations, doctor visits and emergency department visits for people with diabetes.
