This is an exciting week because World Diabetes Day is this Saturday!  What are your plans for Saturday?  If you are anywhere near the Raleigh, North Carolina area, I invite you to  attend our first DiabetesSisters Quarterly Gathering.  This event is being held at McCormick & Schmick’s Restaurant at Crabtree Valley Mall from 1-3pm.  We will all join to together at 2pm to check our blood sugars with the rest of the world.  Our speaker at this Gathering will be Laura Ely, DiabetesSisters Communications Coordinator and Member of Team Type 1.  She will share her inspirational story of triumph over adversity.  All attendees will also be entered into our drawing for a FREE 1-hour massage at Integrative Health Solutions in Durham, NC!  This is a wonderful opportunity to talk with other women who are living with diabetes, ask questions you can only ask other women with diabetes, and relish in the feeling of being surrounded by women who understand what your life is like!  We have reserved a private room to encourage openness and intimacy among the group.  It will be educational, it will be inspirational, and most of all, I guarantee, it will be fun!  If you are planning to attend and haven’t already RSVP’d, please send an email to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
