"Because there is a history of diabetes in my family, I was not surprised when I was diagnosed with the disease. What surprised me was the amount of time, effort and knowledge needed to manage my condition. Thankfully, I found the perfect partner-AAHP. With their free health education classes, diet and exercise programs, and social dining clubs for others living with diabetes, I have found the support and programs I need to help monitor my condition-and live my life with confidence."
