You’re in the Diabetes online community so you have for sure seen Kerri Sparling (@sixuntilme on Instagram) somewhere online, and likely on Sixuntilme.com .
I met Kerri for the first time in 2017 at a JDRF Dallas Type One Nation Summit, where she was giving a keynote presentation. We’ve stayed in touch over the years but finally made the podcast happen before the holidays.
Join as Kerri and I talk Diagnosis, the birth of Six Until Me, the early days of the DOC, her pro-tips on Mario Kart on Nintendo Switch, and how she strives for balance in her Diabetes, personal and professional lives. A must listen.
