Diabetes Sisters has a new look – and a forward looking agenda. They are working to be THE support organization for women and their health, and they’re well on their way.

The photo above documents their offerings. Among them are weekly virtual meet-ups. While a few years ago the groups were run locally face to face, the pandemic brought the groups online where they have stayed. The advantage is now you can attend any group, anywhere, and as many as you like.

I’ve been doing a lot of work with the leads of Diabetes Sisters, Donna Rice, Michele Polz, Shelby Kinnaird and Kristy Farnoly since last November when I wrote an article in their December newsletter that we can’t control blood sugar. I can vouch that these women’s concern is you. To bring you everything in their power to help you thrive.

I can also vouch that flourishing with diabetes lies very much at the foundation of Diabetes Sisters’ new platform. There are regular expert talks on issues that affect women’s health. Some are given by medical experts, others by patient experts. And I kicked off the Expert Series last month with a webinar on flourishing with diabetes.

May 29th I’ll be showcasing live guest Amy Jordan and her amazing triumphal story. Amy lives with type 1 diabetes, blindness, a damaged leg due to being hit by a New York City bus. Yet, she still leads a dance company, her lifelong passion, and has never stopped taking giant-sized bites out of life, with a sense of humor. You can watch Amy’s documentary, Amy’s Victory Dance, and I strongly suggest that you do. Then join us on the 29th for the conversation.

While the organization has put on a new face, much hasn’t changed. Founded by Brandy Barnes in 2008, and then run by her successor, Anna Norton, and including the women who have run the meet-up groups over the past years, everyone has held the same desire – to help women with diabetes not feel alone, not be alone and live their best life.

There’s a lot going on and there’s a warm community waiting for you with open arms.
