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."

"Kelly was very engaging with her humor and positive attitude in looking at life with Diabetes on a lighter side. Everyone in my Diabetes Support group lowered their glucose levels with laughter that evening!"

"Dr. Kelly keeps you laughing.......Great bedside manner!"

That was Fabulous. Needed that this am. ;-)
You know when you cry, and you start crying so hard you are almost hyperventilating...and you cough to get air...that is where this had me. Maybe it's my "time" of the month...but man...I haven't cried this hard in awhile. What a beautiful reminder to all of us. No matter what the obstacles...we CAN do anything!
Yeah, that was pretty great. Thanks!
So moving. . thanks K2! It's strange that our natural instinct is to ask, "Why?" instead of "Why not?" Thanks for the reminder. . I've got so many "why not" opportunities just waiting to be explored if I'll just start noticing them.
Thanks too for your additional comment on my blog today! I'm proud to be a fellow Diazon!
Love. It! It gave me goosebumps! How profound!
That made me feel almost every emotion possible! I really needed that today, Thanks!
amazing...and blessed you shared it... pass tissues please ... <3 ya!
Magnificent, stunning, powerful - as are you.
i had the same reaction that Meri had.
Sometimes we get kicked down so much in this world, and we let it take over our lives. the message of this piece gives us encouragement to say WHY NOT? do what gives you joy! reach for the stars!
kelly kelly kelly, always remember... WHY NOT!
Beautiful. Thank you for posting this Kelly.
