Dr. Jan Swaney, co-founder of MyHealthVillage.com, explains the importance
of these diabetes sessions. "There is a great deal of confusion and
frustration with managing personal diabetes and blood sugar levels. Many
times, people assume they are making the best decisions when in fact, they
are exacerbating the problem. MyHealthVillage.com's Q&A Sessions are a
great way to dispel rumors about diabetes while helping individuals living
with diabetes make informed decisions about their health."
