Dear DiabetesSister,
With summer just around the corner, it's time to get out and enjoy the sunshine, longer days and opportunities to get active outside. This month, our experts share their best tips on how to incorporate physical activity into our daily lives, both virtually and outdoors. Take a look, you won't be disappointed.
Until next month, take time to breathe in the fresh air and enjoy the shade of bloomed trees. Be well!
In Sisterhood,
Anna
