Special thanks to Barb G., who has worked tirelessly with me to create content, develop a tracker to keep content organized, and whatever else has been needed … a true, steady and fun partner on this project! And a big thanks to Jim C. and Aimee J. for jumping in when/where needed!

A special shout-out to our growing and highly engaged Advisory Panel: Dr. Medha Munshi of Harvard/Joslin and the International Geriatric Endocrine Society, Dr. Steve Edelman of TCOYD, Dr. Nancy Allen from University of Utah School of Nursing, and David Winkler of Diabetes Research Connection and Aimee Jose, T1D/ADCES.

My webmaster, Dave Mosso of Spacious Mind, has been amazing, as always. His expertise and guidance have been invaluable. And many thanks to Sydney Head of Sydney Head Consulting for his intense computer expertise!

To my husband, Richard, who spent hours waiting for me while I just needed one more hour on Zoom! And finally, to Hey Buddy, my very senior pup, who, at 17-½ years of age, stayed by my side, snoozing while I worked to create this website.
