"Combat Diabetes Before It Combats You;" That's The Message Singer-Songwriter Angie Stone Is Taking To African Americans in Eli Lilly's F.A.C.E. Campaign

How did Lilly approach you to be F.A.C.E.’s spokeswoman? How long will you do it?
Before Lilly even contacted me, which they did through my manager, I’d been pretty outspoken about my diabetes. After discussing it, we agreed that my role is to get out and meet and greet people, and talk about diabetes.

Letter of the Week: Does DH's Left Hand Know What Its Right Hand is Doing?

Editor:

What a disconnect and what a disappointment! On page 32 of your February/March issue there is a warning that Byetta can cause acute pancreatitis, and then on page 36 there is an interview with a representative of Amylin Pharmaceuticals, which makes Byetta, extolling its virtues in an interview with Scott King. I hope your magazine isn't bought off by a paid ad for a medication that can cause serious side effects. I expect better from Diabetes Health.
