On August’s Diabetes Late Nite podcast, we’re talking about movie characters with diabetes including Steel Magnolias, Soul Food, Mad Money, The Baby-Sitter Club and Nothing In Common. How realistic are these portrayals, how accurate is information about diabetes and diabetes self-care and how do we feel after viewing them. Guests include Patricia Addie-Gentle RN, CDE, Constance Brown-Riggs MSEd, RD, CDE, CDN, Jessica Clark, Glucose SOS founder Pamela Heyward and Muniq founder Marc Washington. Throughout this podcast we will be featured music from the album ‘Score’ by 2Cellos courtesy of SONY Music.

2Cellos is Luka Sulic and Stjepan Hauser. Both artists have played the cello since childhood and have won many top prizes in international music competitions. 2Cellos rose to fame in 2011 when their version of Michael Jackson’s “Smooth Criminal” took the world by storm. The YouTube video became a massive viral hit leading to a record deal with Portrait/Sony Music Masterworks and an invitation to join Sir Elton John on his worldwide tour. They have appeared on a number of television shows and are currently touring the US in support of Let There Be Cello, their fifth album with Sony Music Masterworks.

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.
