I hope that my presentation was well received, and that I helped remove some of the perceived barriers between healthcare professionals and social media resources.
Please let me know if you have any questions or suggestions.

Diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in April of 1980, I recognize the incredible mental struggle of living with diabetes.

Very nice, Scott. I hope that lots of people will view this.
Outstanding presentation, Scott!!! Thank you so much for doing such a great job representing the D-community and patient voice.
Scott this was so great… I love the comment you made saying how Social Media is as important to you as insulin! Very powerful. I couldn’t agree more… sometimes for me, Social Media is more important!
Awesome job Scott! I love it. I am considering sending it to my health care team. Getting the word out there is so important.
Yow-zah!!! I am impressed, big time. You did an exceptional job.
I was gonna say that I was on first floor having my blood drawn as you were speaking, but I was off a day.
