In this video below you’ll hear from three husbands who love and support their global-diabetes-advocate wife. One of those amazing advocates is Dawn Adams from Ireland. We met last year in Hamburg as part of the #dedoc entourage. Her lovely husband is Roger. Another advocate is Anita Sabidi from Indonesia. She and I run into each other at the International Diabetes Federation World Congress every two years or so. Her very supportive husband is Riotanto. Then there’s me and the husband, Boudewijn.
While there are a few twists and turns at the beginning of the video, stick with it, especially if you’re a partner to someone with type 1 diabetes. Or advance to 1:58 where the interview begins.
The interview was conducted by my friend, and Pen-Plus super advocate, Tino Dzikiti from Zimbabwe. Hats off to his going off-road to give us an up-close and personal look at those who stand by us: how they do it and what they think, as we three are lucky that this 24/7 condition has a man standing (or sitting) behind us.
