The Kid Initiative to Defeat Diabetes® (KIDD™) Curriculum 

This generation of children is on the fast track to live a shorter, less healthy life span than their parents.

The Kid Initiative to Defeat Diabetes® Curriculum is designed to fill this gap in information about diabetes and obesity and its relationship to nutrition and fitness.
