SAN DIEGO — In this video exclusive, Endocrine Today Diabetes in Real Life columnist Susan Weiner, MS, RDN, CDE, CDN, speaks with Cherise Shockley, founder of Diabetes Social Media Advocacy, about her Twitter chats and the impact they have on communication between patients and health care providers.
