TuDiabetes Make Your Own ‘Betes!!! Workshop

NOTE:  we had a technical glitch during this event, from minute 3:56 to 5:26.  Please fast forward past that piece!

Imagine you could see your diabetes- what would it look like?

Imagine your diabetes could speak- what would it say?
What would you say to it/him/her?
What would its personality be like?

The Betes Organization will host a Make Your Own Betes Workshop for anyone who is interested to create a puppet-character of their diabetes.

The event will be video-streamed live into the TuDiabetes home page, guided by Marina Tsaplina, founder of The Betes Org and member of the TuDiabetes community!

TuDiabetes Live Interview with Marina Tsaplina, clown and puppeteer with diabetes

Marina is the founder and catalyst of The Betes. She has lived with type 1 diabetes since she was 2 years old. When she was little she wanted to be an artist, a dancer, a teacher and a diabetes doctor. The Betes is her doing precisely that, with a twist: directing the power of theater in service to one of the greatest health crises of our time.
