Kelly is from
Des Moines, IA and was invited to participate in the
Diabetes Blogger Roundtable sessions during Government Day. Kelly says, ‘I’ve
served as my own artificial pancreas for more than 37 years. Please, improve
treatments and find cures for all types of diabetes so I can concentrate my
energy and passion on another worthy cause!
