FUTURE MEETINGS
February 14, 2012 - We hope to have Doug Macnamara, new Chair of the CDA National Board, in attendance next week, and if he is able to be there, he will update us on what is happening with CDA. We also have a couple of volunteers to lead discussion on some chapters, including Carbs & Exercise from the John Walsh book, Pumping Insulin.
For this meeting, the room has changed to Room #2283.
Please feel free to send a note if you are not able to join us on Tuesday.
Future Topics:
For the coming year we hope to offer discussion on the following topics:
- Presentations by insulin pump representatives on what is now available as well as new technology.
- Travelling with diabetes; experiences and tips for more successful travel experiences.
- Where is research going for diabetes?
If you have any suggestions for topics of interest or know of anyone who would be willing to make a presentation or just join us for a discussion, at future meetings, please email Cynthia...
