Yesterday, I went to the Diabetes Research Institutes - Diabetes 2.0. We learned what the DRI is working on and what’s next in diabetes research and treatment and what is available today.
There were also sessions for people with Type 1 Diabetes (more coverage on that coming soon over at my new blog)

What Pushes Your Button? (For children ages 8-11 with diabetes) - Jill Weissberg-Benchell, Ph.D.
From (Diabetes) Burnout to Motivation (For adults)- Wendy Satin Rapaport, Psy.D., L.C.S.W.
A handful of bloggers were there from The Diabetes OC including our newest blogger family member who was also on the lunch panel Fran Carpentier, Amy Tenderich, Allison Blass, Scott Strumello, Bernard Farrell, Kelly Kunik, Lee Ann Thill, Karen (forgot her last name) The Self Taught Knitter, Val Dr. Jekyll and Mrs. Low

WTF means exactly what it means What the F.
We were all in this session for diabetes burnout with Wendy Satin Rappaport and she asked us to explain what we feel when someone basically bothers us about diabetes related stuff. And she started going around the room with a microphone and Kelly K. spelled out W T F and it became the joke for the rest of the day. It was funny. Sorry. Maybe it was a had to be there kind of moment lol

It was a real treat to meet you on Saturday. I’m sorry you couldn’t join us all for dinner. We’ll have to do that the next time!
