Some comments about diabetes and Keiki Ohana Konnection
We were so scared and confused about diabetes. It is really great to meet other families that are dealing with it. We're learning a lot.
--M. Monte, Honolulu Diabetes isn't just a bunch of blood tests and shots--all the planning and stress can take over your life. At first I had my doubts about a support group, but it's the best way to learn about living with diabetes--from people who are going through the same things every day.
--C. Benjamin, Honolulu
