Dear DiabetesSister,
The temperatures have dropped in Chicago, and we are seeing a change of scenery, welcoming Autumn. My wish is that you are healthy and safe, and preparing for the cooler months.
We have compiled some great resources for you this month and hope you will sit back, perhaps with a cup of tea, and take a read. Until next month!
In Sisterhood,
Anna
