"The GUMline to Waistline Challenge is an opportunity for patients to learn about this link while challenging themselves to adopt changes and new habits that can help manage or prevent the onset of diabetes."

Registration is currently open to individuals, groups and families. To register, log on to www.dietfreelife.com and become a member using the discount code: GUM - or call (805) 642-8440. The outcome? Better oral health and a healthier you!
