My Service Learning Project

For my service learning project I am starting a non-profit organization that I had wanted to start anyway called "Diabuddies." The goal of this organization is to set up newly diagnosed diabetics with diabetic mentors. So far I have contacted the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation who is really supportive of me starting a branch in Orlando. Also, I will be tracking my progress, as well to daily living with diabetes on a blog I just started! So far I have received a lot of positive feedback from other diabetics who have read it! If anyone would like to follow this journey or help and spread the word, I would really appreciate it!

  1. Hi Cara,
    I sent your website to a friend of my daughter's (also named Cara) who has diabetes.
    This is a wonderful project!

  2. Oh that's awesome! Please let her know to contact me if she would like to discuss anything diabetes related! I have a lot of experience with different types of insulin delivery systems. Additionally, if she wears a pump, I am doing my honors thesis on the effects of insulin pump therapy on female self-esteem and body image. I am currently seeking interview participants. My e-mail is care913@ufl.edu.

    Thank you so much for your interest and support! :)
