Beth Braun, Ph.D.

04/30/2026

Honored (and a little humbled) heading into this week with three major speaking engagements—especially this one.

On Friday, I’ll be a keynote panelist at the Diabetes & Mental Health Conference alongside an extraordinary group of leaders. This conversation means so much to me. We’re not just talking about blood sugar—we’re shining a light on the very real emotional and mental health toll that comes with living with diabetes.

Grateful to be part of a movement that’s pushing this conversation forward—bringing awareness, compassion, and real resources to both patients and the medical teams who support them every day.

This work matters. And I’m so thankful to have a seat at the table. 💙dmhconference . . Join us Friday and hear real life experience in some of the most brilliant speakers throughout the conference.

I get way too excited to find a magazine like this in the supermarket in Hawaii. What would you put as an easy snack or meal to eat with diabetes? My go to meal is salad with protein.

✨We are excited to welcome T1D Warrior and NASA Aerospace Engineer, April Blackwell, as our keynote speaker. As a child, April dreamed of becoming an astronaut, but a T1D diagnosis at age 11 caused her to change course. Though T1D is an automatic disqualification from the NASA astronaut application, April decided to go for it anyway and continue to pursue a career in space. Now she works in Mission Control at NASA, where she is responsible for maintaining the attitude of the International Space Station. We’re honored to have her share her story and perspective, and we know her experience will inspire others to keep reaching towards their goals.
