Kelly, THANK YOU so much for doing what you did here and talking at length with that station's GM. I'm appalled and even personally embarrased that a fellow "journalist" like that reporter responded that way. While it's D-101 for us about insulin and low blood sugars, I get that it may not be as clear to others; and these mistakes can happen. But her response is just inexcusable in both professional journalism terms as well as how we're all interacting now with social media. Your work on this, and of course Melissa and the others, is awesome. Wish it hadn't been needed, but so glad you were on the ball.Mike Hoskinshttp://www.diabetesmine.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9175362385039466640.post-72059790125534173782013-01-29T22:42:11.941-05:002013-01-29T22:42:11.941-05:00God Bless you Kelly for advocating for ALL of us! ...God Bless you Kelly for advocating for ALL of us!

It's been over 20 yrs and he hasn't forgotten that moment, it was solidified after that the he not only got a dx of having t1d but also became an advocate for himself and all others with d. <br />have a lovely day :)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03210820513382353417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9175362385039466640.post-45859349284983981902013-01-29T18:06:54.221-05:002013-01-29T18:06:54.221-05:00This is truly excellent.
