[Diabetes-talk] What have your affiliates done for diabetesseminars during convention

[Sandi Ryan]

Last year, before we existed in Iowa, Mike Freeman was our national rep.  We 
put together a nice long list of resources from the BARD, Bookshare, etc., 
and several web sites.  Mike talked about the purpose of the DAN, and I 
talked with the group about food.  As I think I said here after our meeting 
this year, we had an endocrinologist talk with us about diabetes 
basics--what causes it, treatment, self-management, complications from a 
body systems perspective, etc.  Then she answered questions from the 
audience.  Excellent program!
