PROGRAM
Community Table
Conversations that matter. Voices that need to be heard.
Join us on the third Friday of every month for a diabetes discussion series that spotlights the lived diabetes experience, challenges perspectives, and sparks connection and change.
Welcome to the Community Table!
No sugarcoating. No judgment. No “you can’t sit with us” energy.
Hosted by Tiana Cooks, a mentor, advocate, and proud member of the diabetes community, Community Table is a space for real, unfiltered conversations. Each month, we bring in new guests to explore fresh topics, share stories, and spotlight the diverse realities of life with type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
Pull up a chair, and let’s get into it!
Check out our new episode: Dating with Diabetes
