What People Are Saying About Kelly Kunik's Diabetesalicious Humor
"I laughed so hard I puked all over my pump -Just kidding......
Kelly's intimate knowledge of living with diabetes makes her the perfect person to poke fun at all of our little eccentricities. If laughter really is the best medicine, then Kelly should be nominated for Sturgeon General."
Gary Scheiner - Certified Diabetes Educator, Owner & Operator of Integrated Diabetes Services, Author of "You Can Control Diabetes" and "How to Think Like A Pancreas."
Marx Brothers Fan for life, T1 for 20 years .
"Kelly Kunik performed her Diabetes Comedy Act at the
Diabetes, Exercise, & Sports Association (DESA) National meeting in Colorado Springs in June of 2007. She had the room laughing all night! It was great to see the light side of Diabetes for once...."
Rick Philbin, Type 1, Board of Directors, DESA
"As a Diabetes Educator, I'm always looking for new ways to help patients. Kelly Kunik offers a unique way of educating patients through laughter.
There's a tremendous validation in Kelly's approach - Everybody thinks that no one once else has diabetes related issues, day & day out. Whether it getting your tubing caught on a door nob; acting out with a low blood sugar, or dealing with the same old questions. Silly or serious, Kelly's observations allow patients to feel better about themselves.
When people feel good about themselves, they practice better
self management. IT'S ALL GOOD.
We all had so much fun the night Kelly spoke to my Type 1 support group."

my cousin jimmy was a fire fighter with ladder co 35 they lost everyone except their captain . Hard day for my aunt and uncle and the rest of us .
I was down there that day, Standing one block from WTC 1 on broadway when the second plane hit, even though I don`t think I was ever in any real danger, I Still find it very hard to watch Video like this... Seems like yesterday..give extra hugs to all our family & friends! ((HUGS))
P...

Jamie-
So sorry to hear about your dad. The days leading up to the 11th and the day itself are extra hard.
(((HUGS)))

Yes, it is hard to watch the reminders of that day, but in my mind and heart, I feel we owe it to all those who were lost.
