Seeking Volunteers and Nominations to be included in upcoming book
Whether you have diabetes yourself or you are living with the disease through supporting others. It’s time to tell your story. Dr. Jean Norris, a type 1 diabetic for 24 years, knows the impact diabetes has on the entire family as well as friends. She also knows that many people manage the hurdles of life in their own way. Jean is seeking volunteers and nominations for interviews to be included in an upcoming book, “No Sugar Added – Straight talk from those living with Diabetes.” If you, or someone you know has a story, tip, advice, or inspirational words to help those living with this disease, please visit www.nosugaradded.org for more information on how to help. A portion of the proceeds from this book will go towards helping find the cure through JDRF.
