Hi All,
See the above update about BlogHer – no conflict there. You should be able to attend both.

@d2 – Thanks for your interest. We really don’t want anyone to feel left out, but there is a limited number of spots for this initial event. Roche assures me that if things go well, they’ll start a waiting list for the next round.

I’m honored to have been invited! Thanks Amy!

I think this will be a fun time – I’m looking forward to it!

The fact that it conflicts with BlogHer could pull many of the invitees out of it though…

Definitely a cool idea. Glad a company is out there connecting with people.

I second Rachel’s comment. The idea is AWESOME. Scheduling to conflict with BlogHer was poor planning to say the least.

Ack! Conflicts with BlogHer, otherwise I’d go for sure.

Fantastic! I’d love to be apart of this, but I’m not a blogger. Anyway to connect and possibly be a part of this landmark educational and important effort?

Way to go Amy! keep up the good work.

Congratulations Amy!

I think this will be a great opportunity for them to connect and learn from “real” diabetics instead of case studies all the time. Looking forward to reading more about it.

It’s about time!
So many patients learn from other patients questions & examples, and follow their lead towards good health and diabetes ownership.
I’m glad to hear that Roche Diabetes is not only “rolling up their sleeves” but opening up their ears and minds and embracing what diabetics have to say!
