We are blind, empowered and diabetic! During the first diabetes affiliate interest meeting, words of inspiration were shared by many, including Pam Metz, who reminded us how starting an affiliate for blind diabetics was a passion of kens. Pam also mentioned Ken’s love of and struggle with his diet and good food. That’s why we’re inviting everyone who dials in for this meeting to share one of their favorite quick and easy snacks. Think simple: peanut butter and apple slices or avocado toast! As a special bonus, all meeting participants will be sent Ken’s famous chili recipe!
During this call, we will also take a deeper dive into the unique value of creating a network specifically for those living with and managing diabetes and blindness.
