Invitation to Attend the Type One Nation Summit on May 18th

I want to send the SD Insulin Pumpers group a personal invitation to our Meet the Scientist – Type One Nation Summit on May 18th. It will be held at the Altman Clinical and Translational Research Institute (ACTRI) building adjacent to the La Jolla ER.  Dr. Pettus and Dr. Boeder will both present the latest in T1D research. I will also have a table about some of our new efforts to prevent hypoglycemia using wearable sensors (CGM + smartwatches). Dr. Mark Heyman, a diabetes psychologist (he has a great podcast), will also speak. It will be a great event. 

I truly appreciated the opportunity to speak to your group last year, and I've enjoyed meeting members of the San Diego Insulin Pumpers community. Many of you have generously participated in our research studies. This is our opportunity to tell you about what we've learned so far, and where we're going next.    

There is no cost to attend. For more information and to register, just copy and paste the link below:
