Did you watch the World Diabetes Day webcast yesterday? If you did, you heard all about how important it is to be an advocate. Not only were advocates integral in getting the Special Diabetes Program last year, but they have also been one of the keys to success for the artificial pancreas advocacy campaign this fall. After hearing about all of the great things that advocates have helped accomplish, it is hard not to be inspired to do some advocating of your own!
