Yesterday I tweeted about remarks I made to a group of doctors regarding opioids and stigma, and I unfortunately and regrettably upset some in the diabetes community. I apologize.

Appreciate your apology. Would love to see you use your platform to raise awareness about people living with diabetes and the challenges we face every single day.
Quinn- I would love to and plan to do that. It was never my intent to upset anyone and I hope we all can use this as an opportunity to talk about stigma, and to help empower everyone with a chronic disease- especially those who struggle with type 1 diabetes.

I appreciate your response. I’d like the opportunity to meet with you to discuss life with type 1 diabetes. You pick the date, and I’ll be there. Having an open dialogue, hearing others stories...is the only way we can better understand the journey that others are walking.

Mr.
@Surgeon_General - You won’t be disappointed if you sit down with my sister. She is, has been, and will always be one of this country’s best advocates for diabetes. Former National Youth Advocate for the ADA — and a great person to boot! - 1 more reply

Come to Kansas City, spend a day with a
