About two years ago I met Mandy Jones. We had coffee at a local coffee shop in my Brooklyn neighborhood and talked for quite a while. She was searching for a way to bring unity, ease, and compassion to those of us who traverse each day through the rigor of living with diabetes, and help lessen feelings of aloneness.

Well, Mandy went on to get her degree in psychology and created her company called Sage Diabetes. I recently received this message about her initiative the T1D Self-Care Collective. As she says, it’s a place to have conversations, support others, gain support and build resilience.

If you’re interested, you can contact Mandy at mandy@sagediabetes.co for details. Maybe I’ll see you there.
