Type 1 Talk Broadcast Details
Type 1 Talk is almost here! Sunday is World Diabetes Day and JDRF’s first ever live Type 1 Talk USTREAM broadcast. I’ve received lots of questions about the broadcast, so I wanted to highlight some important details for those of you who are planning to log on and watch.
