Episode 3: Diabetes, Black Lives Matter and The Black Diabetic Experience

Panelists:

Cameron Hall

Michael Roberson

Eritrea Mussa-Khan

Qiana Drew

Topics:

• What role can the Diabetes community at large and the Black Diabetes Community play in Black Lives Matter?

• COVID-19 as another area in health where Black and Brown communities are disproportionally affected.

• The Black Diabetes Community showed strong support for BeyondType1's GetInsulin.org project, which was being criticized in the community because it was funded in partnership with pharmaceutical companies. What made you start that discussion? How was it received?

• What do people like Rob, and people in positions of leadership in Diabetes need to know what it's like to be Black with Diabetes?
