Joslin CEO John Brooks III on DSMA Live Rents

This episode of DSMA Live 'Rents  is an amazing conversation. Join Lorraine and I as we chat with (and are mesmerized by) a follow parent of a T1D child. It is clear the passion of a parent is a big part of what he does and that passion is also part of the history of Joslin.

A fellow d-dad John makes all us d-'Rents proud.

The show  is also available as a podcast from iTunes.

Can Diabetes Parents Talk?

My bet is we can. 

Lots.

I think the smart money is on: Can they ever shut up? 

We’ll find out starting tonight on DSMA Blog Talk Radio. 9:00 PM Eastern Time and every other week after. Who knows, we may get so good at it we go weekly. 

Tonight I will be Lorraine guest and in a stroke of inconceivable scheduling coincidence Lorraine of ThisIsCaleb.com  will be mine! We are co-hosting the show and I am honored to be working with her.

As we figure out what we are doing, we will to talk with:

• Parents of kids with diabetes
• Parents with diabetes
• Folks making cool stuff for parenting kids with diabetes
• Maybe some researchers, school advocates and any one else we can find to chat with us.

Our hope is not to solve the age old question, if Parents Talk radio happens on the internet and nobody is there does it make a sound? Yes, it will be recorded for iTunes. But it will be much more fun with call in guest. 

So Join Us!

It's Official if it is on Twitter - DSMA Parents Talk

There it is.

Lorraine and I will be hosting a version of DSMA - Live focusing on parents of children with diabetes. Every other Monday st 9:00 pm on the DSMA blog talk radio channel. While a bit terrifying because I have no idea how to host a radio show, I know connecting with other parents is the only way I have managed to stay sane through our family's diabetes journey. The opportunity to help other is far more important than any petty terrors I may have screwing up an internet radio show. That and Lorraine is cool. We'll be fine.

Lorraine and I are proud to be expanding on the diabetes community services created by DSMA including:
