Sarasota Cups of Hope – February

Cups of Hope is a gathering of people whose lives are affected by Type 1 Diabetes including adults with T1D, spouses, parents, grandparents, caregivers, etc. Everyone is welcome! We gather together and share experiences and information to help us make life better for our Number 1 Type 1.

Please join us on Tuesday, February 3 at 10:15 for our monthly Cups of Hope Meeting at our NEW LOCATION-THE LAKEWOOD RANCH LIBRARY. Our wonderful speaker will be Mimi Schankman from DEXCOM. Mimi is our very knowledgeable local Dexcom rep who will update us on the latest with Dexcom and answer any of your questions. Here is a note from Mimi:

“I’ve worked in sales in the Diabetes space since 2001, launching Lantus insulin with Sanofi. I’ve been employed at Dexcom now for 11 years. I am a passionate advocate for patients with diabetes. I engaged with the JDRF community (Cups of Hope, the walks and galas) for the last 10 years because I wanted to deeply understand the patient experience and to meet the families that have benefited from this life-saving sensor technology. I am your local rep and will offer you my contact info should you have any questions or need support with your device.”

Our very own Austin Pacher will host this meeting. Austin used to work for Winthrop Labs which was the predecessor of Sanofi. Together Mimi and Austin will be a world of information!

We are temporarily meeting at the Lakewood Ranch Library while the Fruitville Library is under construction.
