We’re helping announce some exciting news! The College Diabetes Network is now The Diabetes Link!
We sat down with CEO Christina Roth to dig into the rebrand, what it means for all young adults with diabetes (not just T1D college kids), and find out what’s coming down the pipeline for The Diabetes Link.
We’re super excited to see what happens next!
Meet Christina Roth, CEO
Christina Roth-Sleeper founded The Diabetes Link (formerly College Diabetes Network) in 2009 as a college student with diabetes seeking community support.
She was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at age 14 on Valentine’s Day and has been a passionate patient advocate ever since.
Connect with The Diabetes Link and with Christina on @CDN_CEO on Twitter.
