Food is a powerful medicine. Find out how a nutrition-based approach can help improve health and lower costs for diabetics.
Join us on December 9th from 12-1 for a conversation with Robby Barbaro , Dr. Cyrus Khambatta, and Dr. Laurie Marbas on a new way for employers and patients to think about their diabetes strategy.

- Why diabetes should be top of mind for employers concerned about the cost of healthcare;
