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.
