In the Oscar-winning film “Steel Magnolias”, Julia Roberts portrays Shelby, a woman living with Diabetes. This was groundbreaking, as it was one of the first times Hollywood showed an intimate look into the life of someone living with Type 1 Diabetes.
Rachael Sood, a Nurse practitioner and CDCES, is the founder of The Diabetes Collective, the first NP owned Direct Diabetes care practice in the US. Rachael is passionate about increasing awareness and screening practices for both Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes through the focused practice of Diabetology. She also serves as an international public speaker, creator, and collaborator working with Global Diabetes brands and experts.
Today, the Diabetes Collective is part of a larger global transformation, providing a collection of comprehensive, contemporary, and convenient healthcare services for people and their families living with or at risk for Diabetes, like Shelby. Rachael believes the real steel magnolias are the resilient people living with Diabetes.
