Daily Help
Community in Motion
Storing your insulin safely.
Healing through local walks.
Proper insulin storage is a key part of diabetes support. Keep your unopened insulin in the main part of the refrigerator. Once opened, it can stay at room temperature for nearly a month. Always keep it away from direct sunlight.
Walking together creates a space for healing and conversation. We encourage families to move together to improve physical and mental health. Sharing the path with neighbors makes exercise a social experience.
