California Dreaming: Who Knew That Included Dreams Of Diabetes There are a lot of stock images that spring to mind when you think of California: surfing, beautiful blonde people, earthquakes. Hollywood, the Golden Gate bridge, perhaps. But one thing that doesn’t fit the usual clichéd rundown of all things California is diabetes. That, however, may be about to change.
