Divabetic (Divabetic.org) presents a month-long showcase celebrating 10 years of diabetes podcasting. Each of the featured podcasts spotlights our favorite guests, topics, poems, games and/or musical inspiration. Enjoy!
On Day 15, we’re spotlighting Divabetic’s Diabetes Roundtable Inspired by Ricochet from November 2013.
New York Times Best-Selling Author Cherry Adair’s brand new T-FLAC novella, ‘RICOCHET’ features a heroine living with type 1 diabetes.
“This podcast will always have a soft place in my heart,” says Max ‘Mr. Divabetc’ Szadek. “Cherry told me that I inspired her to create a smart, sexy heroine living with type 1 diabetes, Hannah Endicott, for her T-FLAC series”
Synopsis: Hannah Endicott’s only purpose for traveling half a world away to Ecuador is to retrieve what her feckless best friend appropriated to invest in yet another bad business venture. Unwillingly drawn into meeting his new associates, she overhears a nefarious plot and instantly goes from irritated to terrified.The right person, in the wrong place, at the worst possible time. . . .
Cherry Adair’s books are just the right mixture of romance and suspense and, whether you are reading one for the first time or the tenth, they will keep you hooked from the beginning. The popular T-FLAC series features the trials and tribulations of an elite antiterrorist task force. In Ricochet, one of the key member of T-FLAC is living with diabetes.

Our monthly podcasts are dedicated to Music Lovers living with, at risk and/or affected by diabetes. We aim to be the epicenter of the circle of care, a link between patients and their health care providers, a translator of clinical speak and a bridge between denial and acceptance, fear and confidence
Divabetic was inspired by the late music legend, Luther Vandross and created in 2005 by Max ‘Mr. Divabetic’ Szadek, who, as Vandross’ assistant of 14 years, witnessed his boss, mentor, and friend struggle in silence and solitude with the diabetes and its related complications. Since its inception, Divabetic has presented outreach programs in 15 major U.S. cities, reaching hundreds of thousands of women, their families and health care professionals.
