reduce diabetes-related complications, such as blindness, amputations, kidney failure and heart disease
provide state-of-the-art treatment, monitoring and education
promote self-management and a team approach to diabetes care
reduce your health care costs
and, most important to us: make your life with diabetes better and longer
