ISPB and PBIL have once again declared November as Diabetes-related Eye Disease Awareness Month, providing the public with a variety of helpful tools to prevent unnecessary vision loss from diabetes.
DIABETES + THE EYES EDUCATIONAL TOOLKIT is available in English and Spanish. This resource includes Power Point presentations, shareable social media graphics and A DEDICATED WEBPAGE. The Diabetes + The Eyes program is supported by funding from REGENERON.
