According to Duncan, “I got the idea (to form Diabetes Awareness Club) from reading through the HiLite and seeing how many diabetics there are; I felt there would be a great need for it (the club). In November my friend MacKenzi Haboush and I decided we wanted to make a club for it, but we decided to wait until the new semester.”

“I would like to see the club involve those who have been newly diagnosed, who are interested in healthy living, who has family members with diabetes. Also, those who are interested in the medical field since its (diabetes) is on the rise,” said Gelatt.
