WESTPORT, Conn., Jan. 15 The devastating, 7.0 magnitude earthquake that hit Haiti has created a dire living situation, particularly for those Haitians living with diabetes. Furthermore, donors often find it difficult to connect aid to specific segments of the population, such as those victims already living with very high rates of diabetes.
