As past 22A Diabetes Coordinator for 2008-2009, and LASH Diabetic Director for 2009 & 2010 year  I am available to speak at your club on diabetes topics. I offer both "structured" or prepared talks or I can just answer questions.  I am not medically trained in this subject but only offer the accumulated wisdom and information of a person with diabetes.
