So, here's what I did...
Ok, so I did let my contact at the American Diabetes Association know that I would be willing to share my story if it would help the cause. I heard back from their media person today and we just spoke a few minutes ago. She loved everything I had to say and how I said it, and she wants to see if she can put the media in touch with
me...yikes! So...I told her if it will help, go ahead.
She interviewed me a bit and once she started asking the right questions, speaking came easily 
She thought I gave a great interview. I told her I fear I'll just sputter and choke if someone puts a microphone in front of me 
...but still...I told her ok, let's do it. I really do have some very strong feelings and I hope, if called, I can do a good job at this!
I was telling her about a new woman at work who is a recently diagnosed diabetic with what sounds like an infected toe, from a pedicure cut. She's laughing and
saying, sure, she'll mention it to the doctor when she sees him again. I had to
actually print out diabetic foot pictures today and shove them under her nose to
scare her into dealing with it now! That the doctor who diagnosed her didn't get her right into an educational program infuriates me!
Anyhow...thanks for the encouragement...I think...and I'll keep ya posted!
