Who decided glucose tabs had to taste bad? "Not us," said Glucolift founder and type 1 since 2007, Christopher Angel. No artificial colors or flavors, gluten-free, dissolves fast & clean with no chalky aftertaste, and the tubes have an EZ-Flip Lid that just pops off and stays put. They're glucose tabs redesigned by someone who actually has to use them.Life for a Child
"No child should die of diabetes" - we agree wholeheartedly. Life for a Child raises money for children with diabetes in developing countries to provide insulin, test strips, clinical care, and education. Just $5 provides insulin and test strips for a month for a child in need. There's no greater gift than the gift of life!The best gift of all - TIME!
While you can't buy time, you can still give it as a gift! Today's everyday life is so stressful, which makes time and rest ever so precious. Why not give away some time to someone else? Taking a stroll with a friend or loved one, chatting over coffee, offering to cook dinner, watch the kids for an afternoon, or having a device-free weekend with family... Let’s get back to the basics!
