Abstract
In his hope-filled chapter “Diabetes Advocacy: Many Voices, One Message,” Shaul describes and demystifies advocacy through personal narrative. Shaul questions what it means to be an advocate and represent the ever-broadening community. In this encouraging chapter, Shaul invites readers to identify as an advocate and act on their impulse to make the diabetes experience better for more people.
