Anisha Dharshi is a person living with type 1 diabetes who\\xa0happens to also be the director of type 1 diabetes programs for the American Diabetes Association. Anisha holds a Masters in Public Health from Johns Hopkins and has\\xa0focused her career on working in healthcare. She has worked for the British Medical Journal, the Institute of Medicine and the National Quality Forum. Anisha\'s entire family lives with diabetes; her sister has Type\\xa01, her father was diagnosed with T1 late in life and her mother has type 2 diabetes.

\\n

Anisha may have a serious life and a serious education but she is\\xa0a light-hearted and upbeat\\xa0individual who is crazy fun to talk to. I get it if\\xa0you initially hear that the Director of Programs from the ADA is the guest on episode 40 and think, "boring"... but no, no... Anisha\\xa0rocks! Interesting aside, spellcheck changes her name every time\\xa0you type\\xa0it, this took three times as long to write because of that... :)
