The next two weeks promise exciting times! I want to tell you about Master Lab and Type1/Type2
Conversations.
Master Lab is the brainchild of The Diabetes Hands Foundation and they describe it like this:
I cannot adequately describe how excited I am to be a
part of this endeavor. I hope to come
home filled with ideas on how to improve the lives of people with diabetes and a
belly full of fire ready to help make it happen. Disclaimer: DHF has paid for my airfare and
room while at Master Lab. Without their
support I wouldn’t be able to attend.
They have not asked me to blog about it, but just let them try to stop
me!
“The
aim of these conversations is not to come to a consensus on a given topic or
decide who is right and who is wrong. Our purpose is to communicate
and talk about these issues. Both Kate and I believe that a strong
diabetes community needs to reflect the voices of people with all types
of diabetes and all experiences with diabetes: Type 1, Type 2,
LADA, parents, and so on. We do not have to be the same in order to
respect and support each other. In fact we are stronger because of our
diversity. So let’s talk to each other and let’s learn from each
other.”
Stay tuned for
the first post on July 8th where we talk about weight.
