“It is my belief that
managing diabetes is 90% information and 10% medication. Information is the key to success in diabetes, and this has been
known for many years. Dr. Elliott Joslin is quoted as saying, "The person with diabetes who knows the most
lives the longest." My goal is to make children with DIABETES the best source of information about type 1 diabetes on the web.”
----- Jeff Hitchcock
