A Message From Our Executive Director

Andrew P. Mandell – MR. DIABETES®
June 2009

Okay, folks, summer is here.  I know many of you have begun a year-round exercise program, and that’s exactly what we should all be doing.  But, if you haven’t, this is a great time to make that commitment, or renew one if you have gotten away from it.

There’s nothing like the great outdoors! - well, I think you’ve got the picture.  And, it’s important to get the maximum benefit from your experience(s).
