Diabetes Forecast Article

1

Hi all,

I’m a writer with Diabetes Forecast magazine, and I’m working on a success stories article for an upcoming issue. I’d like to hear from you (type 1 and 2) about successes you’ve had. The definition is up for your interpretation, but some people who have contacted me have lowered their A1C a point, lost five pounds, had a baby, etc. If you’re interested in being interviewed for the story and being featured in the magazine, please e-mail me at tneithercott@diabetes.org.

I look forward to hearing from you!
Tracey Neithercott

Thanks Tracey. You should try and interview Richard. He is a member here. He has had diabetes for 61 years I believe. I bet he has many stories to tell.

Actually, I spoke with Richard about a year ago for a different story on people who have had diabetes for 60 years or more. The story is here: http://forecast.diabetes.org/magazine/only-online/long-live-living-long.

Thanks for the tip, though!
