This Valentines Day can you spare the cost of one rose to make a donation to a coalition of people living with Diabetes who have made part of their Diabetes Advocacy to bring Diabetic supplies to children in other countries who are unable to get the very supplies (test strips & insulin) that will keep them alive?  Without insulin anyone with Type 1 Diabetes will die.  There are no other options with Type 1 Diabetes.  There is no cure.
