Webinar – Let’s Talk T1D & Mental Health with Jenna Eisenberg
On Tuesday, June 30, we are kicking off a new recurring series with Part One, led by Jenna Eisenberg, MS, LMFT, a Denver-area therapist who has lived with T1D for 50 years this year. Type 1 diabetes asks something of us every single hour, and the emotional load is just as real as the physical one.
In this first session, Jenna will introduce how mental health and diabetes affect each other, share a few practical tools you can use right away, and open it up for Q&A. This is just the beginning. Future calls will go deeper into burnout, distress, body image, family support, and more.
🎥 Full recording will be available on our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@t1dto100

Research Study – A Successful Diabetes Management Model of Care in Long-Term Care Facilities
This study, published in the Journal of the American Medical Directors Association (JAMDA) in 2021, describes a practical diabetes care program developed and tested in six long-term care facilities. Rather than focusing only on blood sugar targets, the program trained nurses and other staff to recognize diabetes problems early, screen every new resident for their risk of high or low blood glucose, and follow standardized care protocols while tailoring treatment to each resident’s individual needs.
Interview – Diabetes in My Back Pocket: A 65-Year Journey with Type 1
Judith Jones Ambrosini is the oldest person I know with type 1 diabetes, and she’s probably had it longer than anyone I know. When I was beginning to make my mark in diabetes, she was already in the thick of it. She’s been a board member with the American Diabetes Association (ADA), a board member of DESA (Diabetes Exercise and Sports Association), a journalist who wrote for many diabetes magazines, a professional chef and caterer who taught nutrition, she volunteered at Children with Diabetes’ conferences for more than twenty years, and taught Tai Chi at TCOYD (Taking Control of Your Diabetes) conferences in San Diego. When I first met Judith, thirty odd years ago, she blared at me something I’ve never forgotten: “You’re using the poor man’s pump!,” while looking at my syringe trying to convert me. Alas, she never did, but I loved her passion and commitment to helping others. At 83, Judith tells it like it is, then and now, and shares a few wild stories in-between.
Diabetes Research Connection – The Savvy Diabetic Series, Part 1: Living with Type 1 Diabetes Since 1965
More adults are reaching older age with type 1 diabetes (T1D) than ever before, yet research, hospital care, and long-term support systems have not kept pace with their needs. Joanne Milo, diagnosed in 1965, is pushing for change through advocacy, research discussions, and her platform T1D to 100. As the population of older adults living with T1D grows, she argues that the health care system must respond with better data, better training, and better infrastructure.
