The good:
· Serving with fellow Board of Directors of the American Association of Diabetes Educators (what an incredible, lifetime experience).
· Launching Dance Out Diabetes
· Doing an LGBT Health Survey in the Castro of San Francisco. This community has the highest rate of cigarette smoking, a known risk factor for type 2 diabetes (see photo of Ion Coman and I)
· Mingling with the California Network of Diabetes Educators – what an incredible group of passionate, dedicated diabetes educators
· Witnessing many people living with diabetes make a connection, get support and relief
The bad:
· Loss (dad died, as did a couple of dreams, and no doubt some beta cells).
The ugly:
· Having my work stolen, twice! How flattering.
· Seeing my weight follow the 2 pounds after age 40 formula.
Looking forward to what gifts the future may bring. Happy New Year and New Decade. May you find much health and humor.
Warmly,
Theresa
