@maryannbrody and @koconnor719 : here are some VA resources:

• http://www.nutrition.va.gov/diabetes.asp
• http://www.benefits.va.gov/compensation/claims-postservice-agent_orange-diabetes.asp
• http://www.publichealth.va.gov/exposures/agentorange/conditions/diabetes.asp
• https://www.myhealth.va.gov/mhv-portal-web/improving-diabetes-management-while-increasing-access
• http://www.research.va.gov/topics/diabetes.cfm

Considering the writer specifically mentioned not eating right, I'd recommend at least sending the nutrition link. If you want to send general information about diabetes you could also send the NIH page at https://medlineplus.gov/diabetes.html.
