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 Seven we’re spotlighting our Bride’s Guide to Diabetes podcast from June 2011. If you’re living with, at risk of or affected by diabetes, planning or attending a wedding, this inside guide to one of life’s most important celebrations is for you!
Mr. Divabetic officiates a full hour featuring a guest list of wedding, food and fashion experts with tips and suggestions for brides, grooms, attendants and attendees. Guests include Jessica Issler and Judi Wilcox, certified diabetes educators, Christine Campanelli, wedding cake designer, Holly Clegg, celebrity cookbook author, Catherine Schuller, fashion stylist, former brides and more.
“I’m so glad this Bride’s Guide to Diabetes podcast is so popular,” says Max ‘Mr. Divabetic’ Szadek. “I love every minute of it right down to Sarah Jessica Parker‘s Sex & The City sound bytes.”
And if there were any doubt, here’s our favorite Wedding Song: Here & Now by Luther Vandross. Enjoy this live performance of Grammy winning single ‘Here and Now’ at Royal Albert Hall in 1994.
Divabetic’s 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.
