Stressed into Diabetes

Diabetes is a health issue that I am very passionate about, especially since it is preventable for the most part. I have been volunteering with the Canadian Diabetes Association to get the word out about it.

ADD and ADHD are two different disorders. I am going to discuss these two syndromes separately but it's important to recognize that factors and treatments relevant to one may also apply to the other.
