We don't have an official DAN here, but we do have plenty of diabetics
interested in a seminar of some kind for our state convention. I'm currently
heading the parent group here, which is just being developed, so I don't
have the time to take on starting DAN, but I think the interest would be
here if some one was willing. Something to present to our state board.

This is a good thing.  I am so happy that you now have a DAN.  I only wish
other affiliates would follow in our footsteps.  I assume some day that they
will.  What other affiliates in the U. S. have a DAN?

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!
