Put On Your Own Mask First: A World Diabetes Day Conversation with Dr. Fran Kaufman

Self-care isn’t selfish. It’s essential.
This World Diabetes Day, join DiabetesSisters and Dr. Fran Kaufman, a world-renowned pediatric endocrinologist, global diabetes thought leader, and author of Diabesity, for an inspiring and practical conversation about what it means to care for yourself while living with diabetes.

Why This Conversation Matters
Women often carry the weight of caring for others, including children, partners, parents, and friends. In the process, their own needs often fall to the bottom of the list.

Just like the reminder on an airplane to “put on your own mask first,” prioritizing your well-being is one of the most powerful acts of love you can give to yourself and those around you.

In this free live event, Dr. Kaufman will share practical strategies for balancing diabetes management with the many responsibilities women face each day. You will learn how to prevent burnout, make time for self-care, and explore the latest innovations that make living well with diabetes easier and more sustainable.

This conversation will also highlight the importance of connection and support. You will discover how peer networks, healthcare teams, and community resources can reduce stress, strengthen resilience, and help you feel supported throughout your diabetes journey.
