Diabetes Awareness
The Public Health Roundtable?
Every month, a diverse panel of innovative public health thought leaders come together to discuss public health topics during a livestream here on LinkedIn. After the live event, we summarize and share our takeaways as an article in this newsletter. Read further to learn how our panelists bring awareness to diabetes.
Diabetes Awareness
The month of November is National Diabetes Awareness Month across the US. This provides us with another opportunity to address the ongoing need to explain public health to the general public.

Notable Quotes?
“We still have so much work that needs to be done with how we communicate and with how we have the conversation surrounding diabetes." -Dr. Huntley [06:53]
"Many people are afraid to go and get tested for diabetes, and what I encourage people to do is: “do it afraid” because we really don't know what it is until we talk to our doctors and ask those questions." -LaShonda Richardson [26:33]
