Today is World Diabetes Day! It is the big day in the diabetes community to advocate and create awareness about Type 1 Diabetes! Today at JDRF we produced a live broadcast on behalf of our Grassroots Advocacy Program. Over the past few weeks individuals submitted questions via Google Moderator- for our Moderator Rik Kirkland (International Board member) to ask our Panelists. We had 3 JDRF staff members, one volunteer and one writer/blogger Kerri Sparling, who has been T1 for over 24 years! It was a great event and a sucess!
