"Joy connects with Diabetes Educators
on a level that has to be seen to be believed.
Her audience becomes truly engaged because

diabetes and as an educator.”

Joy Pape is an outstanding educator. She has
the unique ability to connect with people from
every walk of life and a wide range of self-care
expertise to guide them to deeper understanding.
Her passion and life experience have helped
to shape DIVABETIC and the mission of our diva
brand of diabetes outreach programming. Over
the past year, she's been instrumental in helping
to develop the educational component of our
national outreach efforts. Sometimes, I think
without her, there would be no 'DIVABETIC'
because she has personally helped me to better
understand the lives of people affected by
diabetes and to develop programming that meets
of the needs of this community in a fun and
fresh way.

“I just wanted to get a note out to
you to tell you that I learned and actually
enjoyed your classes on diabetes last month.
I came into the class thinking ‘Oh, what
more could I learn about my type 2 diabetes
that my doctor hasn't already taught me.’ Well,
the answer was A LOT! You're an engaging teacher
and in your classroom there are no "dumb" questions.
You are an inspiration to those of us who may
have otherwise considered diabetes a death
sentence. You live with it, now I know that
I can live with it too."
- John Russo -Singer and Songwriter
