The VOICE OF THE DIABETIC,

published quarterly, is the national newsmagazine of the Diabetes

Action Network of the National Federation of the Blind. It is

read by those interested in all aspects of blindness and

diabetes. We show diabetics that they have options regardless of

the ramifications they may have had. We have a positive

philosophy and know that positive attitudes are contagious.
