Getting Mad At Diabetes

It's enough to make a kid really, really mad. You know what, though? It's ok to be mad. Join Natalie and Stefan to talk about it. They're adults now, but they were kids with diabetes at one time. And they got mad (they still do). There are ways to be positive with your anger. Learn how. Session sponsored by Animas Corporation.2:45 - 3:15 p.m. Snack Break in Fiesta 6-10
