My connection to diabetes runs deep. As a registered nurse, I was able to care for my late father, who lived with diabetes. Additionally, I am at risk of diabetes — living with prediabetes. Because of these connections, I decided to join the Blue Circle Voices to become a diabetes advocate. I believe it is my duty and responsibility to take action and promote awareness about diabetes. By supporting IDF and participating in IDF events, I want to learn more about diabetes, build engagement and drive meaningful discussion. Since I am between jobs now, I want to use this opportunity to make a difference in people’s lives, specifically, using social media to build awareness about diabetes risks and symptoms and how to prevent the condition through healthy lifestyle choices. Being a member of the Blue Circle Voices network is extremely meaningful. I feel my father is carrying on beside me in this mission.
