Here are some articles and publications I’ve contributed to over the years, ranging from diabetes publications to academic journals.  I’m very proud of the places where I’ve had the opportunity to raise my voice.  But this list is still a work-in-progress … much like diabetes.

So grab a mug of coffee, check out these links, and please check back frequently for updates!
