I have been recently hired as an intern with American Diabetes Association (ADA) in Miami-Fort Lauderdale. I told my future supervisor that I could start in the first week of July. Julia will start her position at Cleveland Clinic Weston in Mid July. As I mentioned in my previous entries, I planned to travel to Argentina to take a Spanish course for foreigner. Well, I need to defer my study due the internship. Internships are hard to come by today, so I don't want to pass it up. It is a very interesting internship. Besides, how can I turn down an internship in sunny Miami-Fort Lauderdale area?
I will get to work with people from Julia's employer, so I can have lunch with her on some day. The position is fundraising for special events. Due to credits drying up, the Fed has cut funding for ADA researches. They need to explore other funding channels. I am glad I can help them solicit.
Do you know that there are currently 180 million people with diabetes worldwide? There are type 1 and type 2 diabetes. The most common one is type 2 which is developed in adults later in life. Type 1 occurs at birth or in early childhood.
