Voice of the Diabetic
is the only national publication that focuses on making life
with diabetic complications less complicated. Published quarterly
by the NFB Diabetes Action Network (DAN), Voice of the Diabetic
has a circulation of 330,000 copies. Since 1985, diabetic consumers,
families and health care providers have been returning to the Voice
for insight and inspiration. Voice of the Diabetic is available
in print, four-track audio cassette, e-mail and on the Web at www.nfb.org/voice.

Our Mission: The NFB Diabetes
Action Network educates, empowers, and inspires people living with
diabetes and its complications. We share the National Federation of
the Blind’s “can-do” philosophy, through Voice
of the Diabetic magazine, volunteer peer support, and advocacy
for accessible diabetes technology. Together, we challenge one another
to live our best and fullest lives.
Note: The information and
advice contained in Voice of the Diabetic are for educational
