Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels & guest Dr. John Poothullil discuss the following:What is different or new in your book that others have not already said about diabetes?What is your theory about the cause of diabetes?

Your book says, “How you eat is more important than what you eat.” What does this mean?Experts say that eating whole grain foods is beneficial because they contain vitamins. Your book doesn't seem to support that claim. Why?

Journey to a Miracle: Freedom from Insulin

Wednesday Feb 25, 2015
Laurie Jaffe with her husband Mike are the driving force behind a new documentary Journey to a Miracle: Freedom of Insulin joins eHealth Radio and the Diabetes and Health News Channels.
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels and guest Laurie Jaffe discuss the following: What is monogenic diabetes? How does it differ from type 1?How is it tested and should anyone with diabetes be tested? What is the process?Why do you think there is such a large amount of people that are unaware?What are the obstacles those with type 1 might face? And what are the Solutions?What is your message in producing and releasing the documentary Journey to a Miracle: Freedom of Insulin
Duration: 16:15
Laurie Jaffe and her husband Mike are the driving force behind a new documentary Journey to a Miracle: Freedom of Insulin. They were inspired to produce the film after their daughter Lilly, who was diagnosed with diabetes at one month old, was able to disconnect her insulin pump for good at age 6 after doctors discovered that she did not actually have type-1 diabetes.
In 2006, Mike attended a JDRF meeting where Dr. Louis Philipson of the University of Chicago Kovler Diabetes Center spoke of an upcoming study in the New England Journal of Medicine involving children diagnosed with diabetes as babies. Dr. Philipson explained that most of the children did not actually have type 1 diabetes, but rather a newly understood genetic form called monogenic that is best treated with oral medication, not insulin shots. The rest is history. The Jaffes made a forever friend in Dr. Philipson who became Lilly’s doctor and helped her transition from insulin to oral medication at the University of Chicago.
Moved by their family’s miracle and the potential of reaching thousands more, the Jaffes felt passionate about helping to raise global awareness of monogenic diabetes. They initiated monogenicdiabetes.org, an authoritative website now administered by the Kovler Diabetes Center. Laurie also began and moderated an on-line discussion/support group for parents whose children were also able to switch their treatment from insulin shots to oral medication. The close-knit group grew as parents contacted Laurie after hearing about their family’s story. The group eventually met in person in 2010 and 2013 at “Celebrating the Miracles” conferences hosted by the Kovler Diabetes Center to bring scientists and families together. Laurie is a founding Leadership Board member of the University of Chicago Kovler Diabetes Center.

As she stated, "Get fat. Get diabetes. Die. Lose your fingers." What upset you the most about this? What do you hope people will walk away with after hearing you speak or reading your book?
Duration: 14:19
Quinn Nystrom is one of those unique individuals that commands a presence. Whether she’s speaking to an audience of teenagers or adults, Nystrom can relate to both and with the launch of her new book, IF I KISS YOU, WILL I GET DIABETES? for River Place Press, you’ll be hearing her name a lot.
Inspired by her teenage self, the book is Nystrom’s first-hand account of negotiating life with a chronic illness and she now devotes her full-time efforts to diabetes advocacy and has been recognized nationally for her contributions.

Her message was simple: Find a cure for diabetes and provide support and care for the millions of people living with the disease.
Nystrom grew up in Brainerd, Minnesota with her younger brother Will who was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes when he was five years old. By age ten, she was fundraising and going door to door in her small town to raise money for a cure for her baby brother’s disease. However, three years later, Nystrom was diagnosed with Type 1 and her goal to finding a cure became a lifelong mission. She was named the National Youth Advocate for the American Diabetes Association (ADA) at age sixteen and spent a year traveling across the country. Her message was simple; find a cure for diabetes and support the millions of Americans living with it.
Currently a graduate student at Syracuse University in Communication's Management, Nystrom attends S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, ranked #1 in the country with alums such as Bob Costas and Dick Clark. As a public speaker she travels across the country to diabetes camps, convention halls, corporate offices, United States Congress and yes, The White House. Her company, Qspeak, allows her to advocate, consult and raise funds for diabetes. A portion of the books proceeds goes to the non-profit she founded called Dateline Diabetes, whose mission is to provide support for people living with diabetes.
Nystrom currently lives in Minneapolis where she enjoys skating on the lakes, making her monthly dinner club with childhood friends, and volunteering at her local church.
