To represent the diverse community of people affected by diabetes, Diabetes Forecast magazine asked American Diabetes Association members to consider serving on the magazine's new reader panel. Thank you to everyone who applied—we enjoyed reading each submission.

Please welcome the members of the first Diabetes Forecast Reader Panel. Over the next year, they will review content and help the magazine focus on what matters most to you.
