Sardeson is a member of the A1C Champions Program, which is what CHMC calls “a patient-led approach to diabetes education.”
“A1C Champions know first-hand the challenges and obstacles to maintaining control of their diabetes,” an event announcement from CHMC said. “They are real people, with real A1C control, providing real inspiration.”
Sardeson will cover topics including glucose control, self-management, developing a balanced, healthy lifestyle, planning and prioritizing diabetes management, overcoming fears surrounding diabetes and finding resources for diabetes support.
CHMC says for those whose A1C that is 7 percent or above, “the A1C Champions can provide motivation to take those first steps to better blood glucose control.”
