I was born in Caracas, Venezuela. Moved to the US after college. My career has centered around digital media product and business development.

Every year 800,000 people is diagnosed in the US; 1 million in Canada; and 2 million in India. That's almost 4 million people in just those three countries. It's like a new country with only diabetics is born every year. Unbelievable.… Continue

My one-month anniversary at TuDiabetes

What else could I ask?… Continue

Diabetes getting closer

As I sit here at home and continue to read your amazing stories I asked myself, how could we bring more awareness? how can let the world know?

Inspired by a beautiful campaign by my friend Martin Giraldo called "be part of the garden," and our great logo. I thought of a simila… Continue

Unfortunately, we have a very inflexible platform right now (which we are fixing), so right now it is not possible to put it on the main site.

However, I am planning to put a link to your site on our specials page which I have full control over.

Thanks again!
