We’ve now welcomed in a new year and our Diabetes Online Community (DOC) has had plenty to say during this first month of 2021. Here are some of the excellent posts that caught our eye in January.
It was very cool seeing Justice Sonia Sotomayor, the first-ever Latina to serve on the nation’s highest court, swearing in the new Vice President Kamala Harris… and knowing that Sotomayor is also one of our own in the Diabetes Community, as she’s lived with type 1 diabetes (T1D) since childhood.
OK, so we have a new White House administration, but life with diabetes still requires diligence. Thanks for Shaw Strothers over on Instagram for reminding us of that.
Sea shanties have gone viral on TikTok recently, and that brings us back to a classic diabetes-related sea shanty post from the years before it was even cool. Be sure to check out “Banting’s Imparted Years” on YouTube.
2021 marks the 100-year anniversary of insulin’s discovery, and January 11, 1922, was the day the first person received an insulin dose. We appreciate this Juicebox Podcast blog post highlighting those historic moments and what this has meant for people with diabetes ever since.
A new podcast series called More Than a Diabetic has now launched, immediately delving into important topics such as diversity and inclusion, healthcare inequities and racism, diabetes stereotypes and so much more. Make sure you listen in to the candid talk of the first few episodes, at least.
