Being from the tri state area and a one time resident of NYC I will never forget that day. I was teaching Kindergarten when my superintendent came to tell me what happened. I tried to process while looking at these innocent little faces and being pregnant at the same time. It didn't sink in until lunch when I saw it for myself on TV. I will never forget that day. My heart is with everyone who lost someone on that day.
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
"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!"
Bryony Crane, RD CDE
Virtua Diabetes and Nutrition Svs
"Dr. Kelly keeps you laughing.......Great bedside manner!"
Boston Charlie - T1 30 years
"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."

I worked in one of the closest hospitals to the Pentagon that day.
I tried to document my memory...but there are so many details that are hard to get inside a computer.
I will never forget.
