When Steve and I first started Diabetes in Control we tried to attend every conference and speak to every thought leader we could find. Back then pharmacists did not garner a lot of respect from endocrinologists, and often we were blown off for every interview. There were a few who were willing to take time with us, and one of those was Julio Rosenstock from the Dallas Diabetes Research Center. He was always on the cutting edge of diabetes research and would always take time to talk to us.
