Podcasts about diabetes blog week

This week, diabetes educator Heather Lage has a daughter with type 1 and a son who's tested positive through the screening service TrialNet. TrialNet offers a screening test that can detect markers for T1D called autoantibodies up to 10 years before diagnosis. What’s it like to know your child will get type 1 diabetes? What does her son think about it? Heather Lage shares her family’s story.  TrialNet's ultimate goal is to learn enough about diabetes to prevent it. Many people who test positive are given the chance to enroll in clinical trials.  Also this week, a look at the 8th annual Diabetes Blog Week. Stacey talks with Karen Graffeo who started this event and has been amazed at the growth.  Plus, Stacey announces her partnership with Bike Beyond, a cross-country bike event from the people at Beyond Type 1. Stay tuned or more information and on the road reports from these incredible bikers, all of whom have T1D.   

Hello, and welcome to my little part of Diabetes Podcast Week.  This week, eleven diabetes podcasters and video bloggers are taking part in a week-long diabetes information-fest, and centering once again on the Spare A Rose, Save A Child campaign.  So listen to this episode, then use the giving link to make your donation and save the life of a child living in a developing country who is also living with diabetes.  More information on Spare A Rose, Save A Child is at the beginning of this episode, and there's an additional link below.   My guest for this episode is one of my best friends in the world, Karen Graffeo.  But that's not why you should listen to our conversation.  You should listen because Karen, in addition to leading Diabetes Sisters' Virtual PODS (Part Of Diabetes Sisters) group, is helping to lead Diabetes Sisters Voices, a collaboration between Diabetes Sisters, the Johns Hopkins University, the University of North Carolina, TrustNetMD, and the Diabetes Sisters stakeholder advisory board of women and diabetes advocates.   If you're a woman living with diabetes, there is an easy way for you to participate in this groundbreaking research, and Karen is going to tell you all about it.  There's also a link below.  I think I also may have inadvertently convinced Karen to reprise Diabetes Blog Week this spring:)  I hope so.   Reference Material - Click below for more information on this topic   Are you a woman living with diabetes?  Find out more and participate in Diabetes Sisters Voices research: DiabetesSistersVoices.org   Help save the life of a child by using the giving link and donating to Spare A Rose, Save A Child: LifeForAChildUSA.org/SpareARose   Thanks to Stacey Simms for coordinating Diabetes Podcast Week again.  Find out about Diabetes Podcast Week and meet each podcaster by going to: StaceySimms.com   Karen Graffeo writes about her life with diabetes, and hosts Diabetes Blog Week at: BitterSweetDiabetes.com

The notion that a bunch of strangers can rally behind a movement or person simply because they feel like it might be foreign to some people but not to members of the Diabetes Online Community. This week Karen, of MostlySelfTaughtKnitter.com and BitterSweet fame is my guest for an hour of banter about a range of topics. The elephant in the room this week within the Diabetes Online Community is Karen's creation: a week's worth of blog topics for anyone willing to participate, "Diabetes Blog Week". Support for her idea was immediate and overwhelming. I invited her on to talk about Diabetes Blog Week, knitting podcasts, how to properly pronounce "meme", and much more.
