Champions are those people who make us feel good, be better people, or who give us validation and inspire us to want to work harder. My mind can sift through my childhood memories and recall people who made me feel confident, but none were people living with diabetes! I didn’t know anyone...
Ann,
Thanks for writing about the A1c Champion program in such detail. It's a great tool for me to forward to friends & health care professionals who have expressed an interest in the program. I've been involved for the past six years so I can testify to the strength of the program.
Thanks
Gina
Thanks for commenting Gina! I think this program is so undervalued! I mentioned it to a local endo and she looked vague and said, Oh yeah, I keep forgetting about it that program."
David Mendosa wrote a great post on who the empowered health seekers are, which was a study supported by healthcentral. Great information that goes hand in glove with the philosophy of A1c champions!
