Life, liberty, & the pursuit of happiness while living with type 2 diabetes
Please, stop comparing the death rates between sicknesses. This is not a contest. What’s needed is for people to change their daily habits in the small ways that can slow/stop the spread of coronavirus: hand washing and social distancing, in particular. People’s health is in danger of being compromised and the most vulnerable among us…
When you repeat the idea that older people and people with chronic medical conditions are most vulnerable to coronavirus, ask yourself are you stating (what you believe to be) a fact or looking for comfort?

Patient advocates can keep the one story from becoming the only story by producing materials for other people’s platforms.
Virginia Woolf spoke of A Room of One’s Own. I’m suggesting A Blog of One’s Own. Or a podcast. Or a video channel. Or a website.
“You don’t have to be a guru, you can be a contributor…” I had never heard of Denise Duffield-Thomas, but what she said resonated with me as wisdom for patient advocates.
