Occasionally I find me staring back at myself on TV, in a magazine or blog. Here are a few times it's already happened.
Well the media wasn't there but I did address an executive management group from one of the largest financial institutions in the world, ING Bank, May 8th and as the guest speaker at their dinner event, help them better understand the reality of living with type 1 diabetes and help raise $4,000 to be donated as their charitable gift to Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. It was sweet.
April 11 I was on WBAI's radio program, 'Healthstyles' with Jane Seley, diabetes nurse practitioner, talking about the emotional aspect of living with diabetes. We actually begin 25 minutes into the show. I am pumped. What a great opportunity to shed light on the other half of the equation living with diabetes - managing your head as well as your meds.
Diabetes Education Center of the Midlands, 23rd Annual Diabetes Seminar. It was a day-long annual event of educational presentations from physicians, cdes and physiologists, this year held in Omaha and I participated. I was the 'real person' addressing more than 200 people.
I had my own two minutes of fame featured on DiabetesMine. Award-winning blogger, Amy Tenderich, and I sat down for a glass of wine and a chat in New York City.
Last year I was on dLife TV with diabetes specialist, Dr. Richard Bernstein, renown for his revolutionary thinking in diabetes management.
Also made a guest appearance, except you couldn't see me, on Martha Stewart Living, Sirius radio, with certified diabetes educator, Jane Seley.
