And I had the amazing chance to bring an “official  #IwishPeopleKnewThatDiabetes Booth inward the Friends For Life Exhibit Hall - which seriously ROCKED MY WORLD. 
To endure honest, I was nervous close it - simply every bit I mentioned, it ROCKED MY WORLD (in the fantastical feel of the term,) in addition to it was really an amazing experience! 
The booth was filled alongside familiar faces from the DOC, who gave their fourth dimension in addition to publish energy in addition to helped to brand the booth functional, fun in addition to a success!
