Based on what I read in the most recent JDRF newsletter, Mary Tyler Moore -- who has served in a leadership role at the JDRF for the past 20 years -- joined members of the National Institute of Health on Capitol Hill to raise awareness for the fight against diabetes.
Also, as part of the launch of NIH's new MedicinePlus Magazine, she graced the cover of the first issue and was also featured in an extensive article/interview. She recounts her more than forty years of living with type 1 diabetes, and her ongoing quest for public awareness through the JDRF.
This magazine is available for free in libraries and doctors' offices around the country, and can also be downloaded for free at the magazine's website: www.medlineplus.gov
