The Latino Support Group Meeting, sponsored by SSTAR and the Diabetes Association, Inc. (DAI), presented testimony from a ‘real person’ with diabetes who has 'walked in diabetes shoes' on April 22, 2009 at the DAI headquarters at 170 Pleasant Street. Samuel Vainberg, an A1C Champion for Sanofi-Aventis, has diabetes and shared his personal experiences and helpful insights on successfully managing diabetes. Speaking entirely in Spanish on the topic “Taking Control” from the perspective of someone who has diabetes, he addressed many of the concerns of those in the audience. Topics covered include the importance of good blood sugar control, effective self-management, and maintaining a balanced lifestyle. Click here and here for more photos of recent Latino Adult Support group sessions.
