Each session features both an expert attorney and a healthcare provider in the field.

Together, Anthony and Dr. Bruggemann discussed the legal protections for individuals with diabetes in public accommodations, including concerts, sporting events, hospitals, and TSA screenings. They provided attendees with examples of reasonable accommodations available in these settings.
As advocates for individuals with disabilities, Anthony and Dr. Bruggemann emphasized that people with diabetes have the right to fully participate in society without sacrificing medical safety or facing discrimination.
