Diabetes Spotlight featuring Manny Hernandez

Join the happy healthcare host,  Mr. Divabetic for a Diabetes Awareness Month edition of Diabetes Spotlight featuring Manny Hernandez, founder and president, respectively, of Tu Diabetes.com and the Diabetes Hands Foundation. Hernandez has been living with Type 1.5 diabetes since 2007 and says we're all affected by diabetes directly or indirectly.

At the Diabetes Hands Foundation, we believe no one touched by diabetes should ever feel alone, because together we become stronger and have the power to generate positive change in ourselves and our community.

Diabetes can be a very isolating disease, so we provide platforms where people with diabetes and their loved ones can connect and have an open dialog about their experiences with this chronic condition. Instead of looking at the disease, Diabetes Hands Foundation seeks to understand, connect and energize the millions of people living with this condition.

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.
