Sandra Moreno and Lolis Rocha are dynamic bilingual diabetes educators, playing a key role in transforming our English videos into Spanish. With their expertise, they not only translate but also ensure that the content resonates culturally, making it both accessible and relevant to Spanish-speaking audiences. Without them, the Spanish channel would be impossible.
Kelsey Dietrich
Kelsey Dietrich, MA, is a clinical health psychology doctoral student at East Carolina University. She is also the author of “Mindfulness for Type 1 Diabetes”. Using her unique expertise, we created a playlist of videos focusing on mental health in type 1 diabetes, where you can learn more about what mental health is, common mental health challenges that people with diabetes experience, and strategies to support mental wellbeing.
Daniela Rojas
Daniela Rojas is a psychologist, diabetes educator, and advocate for the Spanish-speaking diabetes community. She has been living with type 1 diabetes for many years.
In collaboration with Daniela, we translated the mental health playlist into Spanish—ensuring this valuable resource is accessible and inclusive for Spanish-speaking individuals navigating diabetes.
