The Rotarian, April, 2010
Letters to the Editor
Fighting Diabetes

The December issue contained very meaningful information on diabetes and the involvement of Rotarians in creating awareness and facilitating service projects by clubs and districts [Facts of the Matter].  From the Rotarians involved in the war on the epidemic of diabetes, thank you, thank you, thank you.

The recently formed Rotarian Action Group for Diabetes is already raising awareness and assisting Rotary clubs and districts that are undertaking or desiring to participate in diabetes projects.  Information is available at www.ragdiabetes.org.  We encourage Rotarians to join in this battle that we seem to be losing, for the number of individuals with diabetes worldwide is increasing at an alarming rate.
