Article Title
Brief Description
Earlier this month I was a guest speaker at a sales training meeting for a major diabetes supplies distribution company. This is a really nice company with a national sales force and people who really care about people with diabetes. I have been impressed with their concerns about how to better meet the needs of patients and health care professionals. They had asked me to do several things.
I would like to tell you a story about two women whom I shall call Tara and Sara. I met them recently in Florida and they are originally from New York, just as I am. They are very interesting, bright articulate women and represent two of the types of people with diabetes that I have taught most of my career. 
As the end of the year approached each Network News Channel conducted their own review of 2001. Many started with the confusion of the election but all of them spent a great deal of time of the changes in our country since the attack of September 11th. I just heard a list of all the famous people who died this year. The world has really changed and I did not hear a lot of great things that happened this year. I should be sitting here very depressed and miserable but I refuse to end the year this way or begin the next year without hope.
The other day I met a man in a Nursing Home in New York. He is a department head in the facility and my class there has nothing to do with diabetes. We were just talking about the course I would be teaching and he asked me about my background and naturally AADE came into the conversation. The whole discussion changed and it reminded me that where ever we go, or what ever we do, diabetes cannot be left behind. 
This morning I was sitting on the back of my boat watching the sunrise and thinking how very fortunate I am, and how much I have to be grateful for this Thanksgiving morning, when it occurred to me how many others did not feel quite so good today. 
Not a week goes by where I don’t get calls from patients, friends and colleagues about how to deal with Health Insurance companies and Medicare about some aspect of their diabetes care. I have decided, in an effort to reach many more people to share the advice here that I have been giving my patients for the last few years
Ginger Kanzer-Lewis, RNC, EdM, CDE, Past President AADE has joined the writing team at Diabetes in Control. Ginger has been working with patients for over 30 years and is owner of GLK Associates in Panoma NY.
Each person responds differently when given the news that they have diabetes. You now have a person who has been told they have a chronic disease that they will have to manage and live with for the rest of their lives.
