TESTIMONIALS
"The Association's work in name of a better diabetes is incredible. Since Molly entered the learning process, I have significantly reduced the number of hypoglycemia's, not only because of the times she warns me, but also because of the safety she passes on to me daily.
Thank you Pata D'Açúcar for turning my best friend and dog companion my 4-legged guardian angel! "
