This weekend, thousands of people with diabetes (and their families) are invading Orlando, Florida for Children With Diabetes’ Friends For Life Conference. Before the #cwdffl14 hashtag assumes control of your Twitter feed, the Diabetes Hands Foundation put on a MasterLab for diabetes advocates. From what I gathered on Twitter, the sessions were quite effective and well received. Hopefully this can be the beginning of a larger diabetes advocacy effort, with MasterLabs accompanying other noteworthy diabetes conferences like AADE and Scientific Sessions. One can hope, right?
For those of us who were unable to attend, presentation slides and a video archive of the day will be available here. If you’ve ever wanted to step up your patient advocacy game but didn’t know which step to take first, this is a great starting point.
Unrelated. The Americans is pretty great.
A Consequence of Hypoglycemia. 
I’m hoping to catch up on these myself. Both Kerri and I were pretty busy working sessions at FFL during MasterLab, and as such weren’t able to attend or watch the traffic online. Seems funny to have been there, but miss it all at the same time. I’m thankful for the generosity of the sponsors who helped make the video capture possible.
